Stop Cutting OUR Hours!

As Walmart Associates, we want to do the best job we can. We come to work every day and are proud of the job we do. We are the people helping customers, stocking shelves, moving inventory, getting carts and other items to their proper places, and making sure we run the store in the best way possible. However, as we continue to carry out this work, we are finding it difficult to keep food on the table, pay our rent, provide for our families, put gas in our cars, and make ends meet due to the lack of hours in our schedules. And because of the lack of staff we are finding it difficult complete our work and give the customer service that we would like to give.

We believe more hours, proper staffing and full-time work is a more viable and successful strategy than continually hiring and firing temps and letting go of longtime Associates with invaluable experience. We these changes will benefit customers because when we have enough hours and staff we can provide good customer service in a timely, safe and efficient manner. It is the right thing to do; for the store, for the customers, for all Associates.

We are calling on Walmart to stop cutting hours and provide Associates with more hours, proper staffing and more clearly defined full-time positions to be permanently added to our schedules. With $17 billion in profit per year, we believe there is no viable reason why Walmart can't provide more full-time work and staff shifts with enough associates to get all our work completed.
