it started with a walkout among wal-mart supply chain workers and turned into a strike by wal-mart's retail workers in a dozen cities across the nation last week workers threaten to hold actions on black friday at the end of november if wal-mart doesn't agree to stop retaliating against employees who speak out about poor working conditions and now we know that this strike has the attention of wal-mart executives according to a leaked corporate memo obtained by the obvious impose that was sent around to wal-mart's salaried employees only managers are instructed to act with caution when confronting striking workers for fifty years wal-mart has stifled any sort of union activity but this latest memo is on usually cautious telling managers not to violate their were. his rights to organize and not to discipline employees who are engaged in walk outs or sit ins memo also cautions men managers from threatening intimidating or even spying on workers who are trying to organize it does however instruct managers to give workers facts opinions and personal experiences with labor organizing in an

see wal-mart workers do not belong to a union but the walk outs were planned by a group called our wal-mart it's an organization of workers backed by the united food and commercial workers union the organization is giving a voice to workers to protest against what they say are the company's attempts to quote silence and retaliate against workers for speaking out for improvements on the job they also want better staffing at stores and better benefits currently the average pay of a wal-mart employee is eight dollars an eighty four cents an hour one of the walmart airs jim walton is worth nearly twenty seven billion dollars alone. so to cumulate that much wealth an average wal-mart employee would have to work more than three billion hours that's not including any tax withholdings or if they were working say forty hours a week then they'd have to work more than seventy six million weeks or about one and a half million years if you want to see the staggering levels of wealth inequality in america there's no better place to look than i wal mart so if you're wal-mart worker you can either get to w

that wal-mart might be the best at slashing prices but according to its employees that's not the only thing the company is rolling back on workers in nearly a dozen cities are now protesting demanding better wages and working conditions we'll take you to the picket line. is wednesday october tenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine and you're watching r t. let's begin on capitol hill where today the first congressional hearing on the attacks in benghazi libya are still under way the house oversight and government reform committee held a hearing and questioned to say your state department officials the former head of the security at the united states embassy in tripoli and the former head of an american military team assigned to provide security at the embassy u.s. security officer eric nordstrom said he personally had sent two cables to the u.s. state department while he was stationed in libya here he is speaking at the hearing a little earlier today i had not seen an attack of such ferocity in intensity previously in libya nor in my time with the diplomatic security service i'm

so wal-mart logo is save money live better but according to many wal-mart employees is something that might apply to customers but does not apply to them so they're speaking out against what they call horrendous working conditions but when they did here's what happened. so that is the pastor who came out to support the workers in their active suit civil disobedience you can see he's being arrested now if you take a look you can also see several members of the swat team are there as well now this is just one of several protests that have been staged during the last week involving people who work for wal-mart some contractors they want often doing their jobs have joined the picket lines and here's what workers are asking for in a nutshell better working conditions many of them say they work in extreme temperatures some even say things like shin pads and dust mats masks could make their lives a whole lot easier they say they'd like the hours they were told they'd get and they'd like to know that if they do speak out that they won't be retaliated against right now that is not the case and

wins you could soon be out of work is this a scare tactic or a scary truth we'll find out plus wal-mart might be the best at slashing prices but according to its employees that's not the only thing the company is rolling back on workers in nearly a dozen cities are protesting demanding better wages and better working conditions we'll take you to the picket line. good evening it's wednesday october tenth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine and you're watching our t.v. . let's begin this evening with a look at the congressional hearing on the attacks in benghazi libya capitol hill was abuzz today with questions like who knew what when as the house government oversight and government reform committee questioned high level officials on the security situation in libya leading up to those attacks a month ago that resulted in the death of u.s. ambassador christopher stevens and three other americans u.s. security officer eric nordstrom said he personally sent two cables to the u.s. state department asking for more security while stationed in libya here he is speaking at the hearing a lit

course made me think of one of the biggest private employers in the western world and that is wal-mart they call their workers associates so wal-mart's first ever retail worker strike spreads to twelve cities so this is the model that george osborne wants to bring here this is the first time in fifty years that there has been a strike at wal-mart it is the biggest private employer in america with over one point four million employees and this group is not a union because of course wal-mart is not unionized it's called our wal-mart and they presented a declaration of respect to the company in june and what they want to thirteen dollars per hour minimum wage at the company they want full time jobs for those that want one and predictable schedules right and wal-mart of course is being squeezed because the global economy is shrinking and even their margins are being squeezed it is known in america as the company's store you know harking back to slave days when you had the plantation in the plantation owner would have a little store for the slaves to buy stuff using the money that they give

oh for the first time in the history of wal-mart workers are walking out of their jobs and into a new battle fighting for improve working conditions but as temporary nonunion employees who work for one of the largest most powerful companies in the world will their battle be all uphill are jihads for the picket line to find out. if you were here. in a magician suit and would be hard worker. came out having first read of the ballots and one would you trust that process in the land of free and fair elections not all ballots are treated equally a system full of old technology and faulty paper trail has put a dark cloud over the way voting is conducted in many parts of this country where the presidential elections right around the corner will take a critical look at the process. plus do you ever get overwhelmed by all those release forms doctors make you sign before a check up well you might want to take a closer look at what you're putting your john hancock on before you agree turns out the florida police are trying to break through a doctor patient privilege with clarity with cleverly wo

is not unionized it's called our wal-mart and they presented a declaration of respect to the company in june and what they want is thirteen dollars per hour minimum wage at the company they want full time jobs for those that want one and predictable schedules right and wal-mart of course is being squeezed because the global economy is shrinking and even their margins are being squeezed it is known in america as the company's store you know harking back to slave days when you had the plantation and the plantation owner would have a little store for the slaves to buy stuff using the money that they give by the plantation owners of one big ecosystem of slavery in a wal-mart films that. function in america now because margins are being squeezed in america little known fact is that wal-mart now want to get into the banking business and of course the first headline to hit after they announced it was wait a minute this is illegal you just can't do this wal-mart in the banking business but of course that won't stop them will they because they own the government so the important point of this

by the plantation owners of one big ecosystem of slavery no wal-mart fills that function in america now because margins are being squeezed in america little known fact is that wal-mart now want to get into the banking business and of course the first headline to hit after they announced it was wait a minute this is illegal you just can't do this wal-mart in the banking business but of course that won't stop them will they because they own the government so the important point of this is of course that during the recession sixty percent of the jobs lost in america were middle income jobs sixty percent of the job gains since the end of the recession have been low income jobs so this is a shift from the middle class down to the basically low paying wage jobs out wal-mart and the average wage at wal-mart is eight dollars an eighty one cents an hour according to ibis world right wages in america are going down so they report to the bureau of labor statistics number every once in awhile what the actual employment number is and they argue whether it's above eight percent or below eight percent

you talk about valuations on wal-mart it is only about 60% of what it is for cost co. 16 for wal-mart, close to 26 or 27 for cost co. people like that valuation. they see it as a floor. they also don't think that the stock will sell off very much. we see put selling at wal-mart even though options tend to be cheap. this is a tough way to make a buck. if you are willing to buy the name at a discount then selling puts is a great strategy. >> with rents rising sharply and mortgage rates dropping. let's bring in billy. >> good afternoon. >> is it as simple as seeing what rents are going for in the market and they are high and mortgage rates are low? >> at the end of the day all of the country's wealth was made through homeownership. now, of course, we have fallen as far as you can fall. it can't get cheaper because we are way below replacement costs. if i'm talking to a couple looking to move i say if you have 5% or 10% of the value of the home you should buy. when it returns on the market you will see things shoot up. that will happen in two or three years. the interesting thing and most

unionized and so wal-mart close that store which is why today it takes one wal-mart employee making an average of eight dollars an eighty an hour he dollars eighty cents an hour more than seventy six million work weeks to accumulate as much wealth as just one of the wal-mart areas for example tim walton is worth twenty seven billion card check would help tremendously in the effort to unionize wal-mart and if the world's largest employer could be unionized than any corporation can card check if it were passed into law would be one of the best tools we the people have to take on the corporate state look it up learn about it in a good actor. and that's the way it is tonight thursday october eighteenth two thousand and twelve for more information any of the stories we covered visit our website to tom hartman dot com free speech dot org and. if you missed anything i'd show you can now watch an h.d. hulu at hulu dot com slash the big picture also check out our two youtube channel is there a link to thom hartmann dot com also thom hartmann dot com check out all the different ways you can s

well technically the workers you see striking there are contractors they work on wal-mart's famously efficient supply chain but that efficiency comes at a price workers are protesting low pay and unsafe conditions including violent threats sexual harassment extreme temperatures in forced work the strikers are organized through a coalition called our wal-mart which is technically not a union even though it has backing from the united food and commercial workers union that means that the protesters are not protected under u.s. law to strike for better working conditions a warm wal-mart has not reacted well to unions in the past when a group of food workers voted to join a union wal-mart preferred to shut down the store and start up a new one somewhere else so warehouse workers in places like elwood illinois and riverside california are risking their jobs to make wal-mart a safer place for workers and their future their demands include increased take home pay insufficient hours or sufficient hours excuse me and ending the culture of silence that lets abusers off the hook wal-mart's low

a super wal-mart in bel air. it will cause too many problems. >> reporter: problems that we're airing outside of harford county advisory committee. wal-mart said it will meet the standards including traffic concerns much the company confident the store will move forward. >> i will tell you that we have had more than 1500 signatures that we submitted from residents who do support hour new store. we know there are others who have that support. we know their voices should be heard. >> in bel air, brian kuebler. >> now the ball's back in wal-mart's court and is expected to spread. >> right now the wal-mart story is one of the hottest stories on the web and facebook page. we want you to weigh in, too head to facebook. would you fight through traffic on plum tree road or do you think it's not worth it? >> if you live in the randallstown area, they had a grand opening. >>> weather wise, beautiful clear skies still over baltimore, over maryland tonight, comfortable weather. the air temperatures will be dropping slowly as

you know wal-mart was one time in its history has been successful unionized it was a stop in canada and they closed the store and so that's a we're going to walk away we that's how much they hate unions and and won't have anything to do with unions so it's it's but there was a difference in the time that your grandfather and his brothers were were organizing the unions and there are these workers rather and forming these unions and as much as the detroit news for example was showing the pictures it was of the detroit news photographer got those pictures and when i was a kid the detroit news was still in print and we used to get the detroit news in the detroit free press the free press was the business paper it had a business section they always editorialized for the republicans the detroit news was the labor paper it had a labor section didn't have a business section and they always editorialized in favor the democrats the days when every town in america had at least one newspaper that a labor section in are gone days. when when you know local television and radio even existed are g

it's very possible but i think that the larger industries and you know mention something like wal-mart would have to be a little bit more respectful of their labor and i feel that you know what's happening now in this sort of little bubbling situations where there's a couple of walkouts in here and there you know are good at least to build the momentum of labor whether or not wal-mart's going to become organized but to just build the spirit of workers can't there are moments when they've had enough and you know the you union the word union has just become such a bad word at least in my generation for so long that you know maybe there is community organizations that don't call themselves a union but still are out there protecting the rights of workers and will do things like organizing walkouts or boycotts or whatever would need to be done if it doesn't need to be called a union so i think it's very possible and i do believe you know labor in general have a resurgence because i feel that this country prospers like film shows when you have a strong labor movement it absolutely does right

or wal-mart, and as the year goes by, watch the colors change. you've got your valentine's day with the reds and whites, and then we've got st. patty's day, and then i don't know how bunnies and easter eggs and - well, i kind of do - but you've got your yellow and your purple for easter and then we move through memorial day. and fourth of july, memorial day, these are classic civil religious holidays, and if you'll go back and think about our functions of myth - answer profound life questions about meaning, reverence for the past, hope for the future, guide behavior, worshiping of heroes and heroines - all the functions of myth that we see in a religious context are there in a culture to do exactly the same thing: to bind people together as a group, just as it does in religion, where we see it out in the culture, and it's fun to see how that works. it's very - it's difficult because the leaders, the political leaders themselves understand this, but not well enough. part of the reason clinton has gotten himself in such a stew is that he's a paradi
