“Everybody just panicked and started crying!”– Venanzi Luna, a Walmart store manager in Pico Rivera, California
It’s been revealed that Walmart shutdown five stores, without warning, on 13 April 2015. About 22-hundred employees are now unemployed!
The stores are located in California, Florida, Oklahoma and Texas. Employees were given a two hours notice!
CNN Money reports say Walmart administrators claim the stores had “plumbing problems”. However, the CBS TV affiliate in Los Angeles, California, says no required building repair permit has been filed by Walmart. The ABC TV affiliate in Midland, Texas, reports that Walmart actually turned away a plumbing contractor who responded to claims there was a major plumbing problem in the store.
Walmart administrators claim they have yet to identify the plumbing problems, but say the stores will be shutdown for at least six months! A Walmart plumbing contractor was interviewed by a Florida TV station and he contradicted the official corporate report: “Even if they had to replace the whole sewer line, it wouldn’t take six months to replace…”– Codi Bauer
Walmart administrators claim they will pay employees a two months severance. An employee in California suggested the true reason for the shutdowns and mass layoffs: “This is the first store that went on strike. This is the first store in demanding changes for Walmart.”-unnammed Pico Rivera Walmart employee
