I'm pretty sure Walmart Canada has actual uniforms, so this is probably a non-story here. (www.theguardian.com)

- U....(giggles) Un (guffaws) union hahahahaha you think if we still had unions we'd have a minimum wage half that of any 'civilized' country? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 13, 15:37
Unless they previously allowed their employees to work nude, this seems like a non-issue. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 13, 10:29 8
- Do you have enough white or navy collared shirts to wear one every day to work? - mara Sep 13, 10:35 5
  - What does that have to do with anything? - Cuzzin Todd Sep 13, 10:44 3
    - I worked at Target when they instituted that rule as well. Living paycheck to paycheck, it sucked. - jaxSean Sep 13, 11:57
    - Just that employees who don't currently have a week's worth of this clothing now have to buy it, and as Wal-Mart already knows (evidenced by that food - mara Sep 13, 10:56 1
      - you only need two days of clothes. you just need to wash them more frequently. -- nm - Karl_S Sep 13, 16:02
  - I have enough white. If I can wear black as well, I can do laundry almost monthly. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 10:37
- don't they just have a dress code and make them wear vests? what more do they need -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 13, 10:31 1
  - I imagine they're trying to combat the image of their stores as cheap scuzzy places. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 13, 11:06
when I worked for Sam Goody we got one shirt, if we wanted more we had to pay for it. This is back in 2002 -- nm - Remlik Sep 13, 10:03
Unfortunately paying for our uniforms is one of the few negatives I'd have to say about my employer. -- nm - Qale Sep 13, 10:03
I wish I could do more than just continue not to shop there. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 13, 09:59 1
- The only thing I can really think of would be pushing for higher minimum wages, but that wouldn't cut to the heart of the problem. - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:00
There'a reckoning coming for Wal-Mart. -- nm - David Sep 13, 09:56 3
- I'd like to think there is, but I doubt it honestly. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 13, 10:03 1
  - Inertia is a powerful force, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:54
- There really is. They need to be more like Costco. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 09:58
