Questions Wal-Mart will NOT or CANNOT answer! Why? Below a former department worker provides his letter!

Former Sporting Goods Department Manager [Walmart Store #2615]
Valdosta, Georgia
TO: Wal-Mart Store Inc.
President McMillon, Board of Directors (Respectfully)
702 S.W. 8th Street
Bentonville, Arkansas 72716
Several Wal-Mart Assistant Manager and Associates in the Valdosta-Lowndes County Area just informed me. That my successor at Wal-Mart Store #2615 Sporting Goods Department Manager (a white female) took over my position as Sporting Goods Department 9, Manager of which I was wrongfully terminated on March 20, 2008 for “Inability to perform Job.”
Well, this is an “Open and Public Request” that I be sent copies of the following documents from Wal-Mart showing that I received the Wal-Mart Four Week Training as the present Sporting Goods Manager as requested below: Mr. President/CEO Board of Directors, Store Manager of Store #2615, Co-Manager Andy, Assistant Manager Frank, Trina, Shannon, and others at store #2615.
This is a valid request and one that should be easy to complete by simply providing proof that I received the same training as the present department manager and I will close this case permanently.
a. Who was assigned as my (George Boston Rhynes) trainer? (Just copies, that’s all)
b. What Wal-Mart Manager entered me (George Boston Rhynes) into training? (Name and Document, that’s all)
c. Who followed through with training until it was completed (Name and a simple copy of the document)
d. Which documents did I date, initial off on and provide my signature that I was properly trained? (Just add them in your letter to me, that’s all)
e. What Wal-Mart Assistant Manager dated, initialed, and signed off on the required documents of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Four Week Training Program as required upon the completion of the Four-Week Training Program for (Sporting Goods Department)? (Just send copies of these documents that are required to be completed, that’s all)
f. Where are the copies of the dated, signed and initialed documents of trainers, assistant managers etc. Along with my dated, initials and signatures for each of the items above? This is to include both start and completion dates in which I completed the required training. Then just mabe a person of average intelligence could be able to understand why Store Manager Hal could terminate a worker for “Inability to Perform Job.” (Again documents will satisfy this request also, that’s all)
Mr. President, this should be an extremely easy task for a person with your level of training, intellect, and professionalism. Simply make copies of above documents and send them to me by United States Mail----to refute my arguments. Once received, I will end my arguments about my WRONGFUL TERMINATION, and that will put an end to this controversy.
Moreover I should NOT have to wait a year to receive your response showing that I was not discriminated against or treated unfairly by Wal-Mart Store Manager Hal in my wrongful termination on March 20, 2008.
Again, would appreciate a reply within 10 (ten) days. It is a SIMPLE request especially since the White Female Sporting Goods Department Manager received the Wal-Mart Four Week Training—which I was denied for whatever reasons.
In addition, I had no knowledge of this being done until Wal-Mart Assistant Managers and Associates contacted me on the matter.
Mr. President, is this not strange that one employee was treated differently from another at Wal-Mart Store #2615? Several of these assistant managers are no longer employed but agree that my termination was unfairly done. And they are concerned about the treatment of remaining associates at Store #2615 in Valdosta, Georgia.
I have included a letter from a former Wal-Mart Associate that worked in the department during my tenure. I have been inform that others will be providing letters about the conditions that remains at Wal-Mart Store #2615, and that disrespecting workers rights is a routine practice.
Therefore I insist on being treated as an American Citizen with workers rights. I will never accept being treated as a worker in China or in some other third world nation. So as a retired military veteran that served this country with honor and distinction refuse to leave my fellow family workers to suffer what I have suffered. And still suffer because I remain unemployed because of unfair practices. I await your timely response. Thanks.

Former Wrongfully Terminated Wal-Mart Department 9, 1- Letter from an Associate that knows!
(Sporting Goods)
SPECIAL NOTE: The following letter was given to me on July 10, 2009 at 4:15 P.M.
This Former Wal-Mart Associate, Mr. Charles Judge, was terminated a few months following my wrongful termination. He insisted on writing a letter concerning his experience and my wrongful termination. He was an Associate at Wal-Mart Store #2615 in Sporting Goods Department while I was the department manager.
{This is his story, and he volunteered to write this letter to: Whom It May Concern).
My wrongful termination has become a matter of concern for several associates including managers in this area. You can be expecting more letters. However they will be directed to the American people and NOT necessarily to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Mainly because it has become Godly Clear that workers rights are not being respected at Wal-Mart Stores #2615, and we the people continue to bury our head in the sand concerning this long period of mistreated Georgia Workers. Then nothing will change. But I am more that 100% sure that things will be changed and workers can once again back shopping at Wal-Mart Stores Inc., and start informing their family members and others----that Wal-Mart has changed its ways and now treat workers as real American Citizens.

Mr. Charles JudgeValdosta, Georgia 31602
TO: The General Public & Wal-Mart Executives
(On Behalf of George Boston Rhynes Wrongful Termination
And Remaining Wal-Mart Associates at Store #2615)
As a former Wal-Mart Patron, and later employee at Wal-Mart Store #2615, located in Valdosta, Georgia at the time when George B. Rhynes was Department Manager of Sporting Goods. I must first inform Wal-Mart Managers and the American People that that Wal-Mart abuses its employees and covertly avoids customer service at store #2615.
I will first offer my view on my 1st Sporting Goods Department Manager George Rhynes. He was fair to all associates and always worked hard to try to satisfy the ever changing, (and demanding) task of reach around your ass to scratch your elbow work projects being constantly required of us.
I must explain that at Wal-Mart Store #2615 there are all chiefs and no Indians. One manager will come by and ask you to do a large, (often ridiculous) project; and about time you finish another manager, will come by and tell you to move etc., do something else, or undo it, then the previous or another manger will come by and want to know what and or why you’ve seemingly got nothing done. This scenario is played out daily and often with many projects simultaneously given without regards to previous assigned tasks and suspense’s.
This is the main reason why Wal-Mart isles are always piled up with boxes and pallets of indecipherable merchandise. In my case I applied during Christmas for part time cashier as I already had a job I liked and they liked me. (Manager and Arms Truck Stop)
After several interviews where by it was clearly, disclosed that I have neck injury problems and heavy lifting was out of the question, Wal-Mart offered me a position as sales assistance in Sporting Goods Department and my primary requirement was “to sell guns {which I excelled at} and constantly had customers lining up to buy guns from me. These customers also consistently told management of my outstanding service, attitude and product knowledge of gun sales and in the area of customer service. (Ask any of them)
My reviews resulted in raises and Wal-Mart asked me if I would quite my other job to work their full time. The old skies the limit speech I guess won me over to quite my other job thinking the grass was greener on Wal-Mart Side! And after seeing that I had a knack for gun sales, (that it just wasn’t Christmas Rush), I did give my notice to AMS and went full time at Wal-Mart and within day’s George was fired as Sporting Goods Department Manager. And I was asked to fill his vacant position.
Well after seeing how hard George worked and that his product knowledge etc. was top notch. I declined, not wanting to be put in the position of having to be in two places at once, and be responsible to try to satisfy and kiss too many asses, of who themselves were ever stressed with the same.
Well they begin laying Sporting Goods Department Managers responsibility on me anyway, without hiring the required amount of help. (They were already short two people shift in that department when I started and now I was alone trying to do the job for three, at the very least.)
But instead of appreciation I was told to ignore Wal-Mart customers to do heavy lifting of which I was not able to perform without violating my doctor’s orders. I complained that that was a violation of our hiring agreement and my doctors orders (which I provided a copy of) and was told by Wal-Mart Store #2615 Manager Hal Hallwell “that is why we have workers comp” what the hell man?
Anyway, I experienced what George was put through, plus to top it all off, I was hurt. And when the job orders had re-injured my neck (and put me down for months), I have yet to fully recover. They fired me for filling Workman’s Comp claim and refused to pay any Medical or Compensation until I was so broken I had to take a small settlement just to keep a place to live to maintain my family well being. This took a year.
On June 17, 2008 I was given a “pink Slip” stating no rehire. Then on June 17, 2009 I filed for unemployment insurance, as I want to try to go back to work but Wal-Mart claimed in writing that “I quit” thus exempting me from those funds. I considered this to be unfair, Un-American and against Workers Rights.
Therefore I have appealed my firing and disgraceful termination notice to the“Georgia Department of Labor” and faxed them a copy of all pertinent documents. In fact, I actually presented this document in person in addition to sending them a copy. Now they are entering other grounds not previously considered or ruled on. The point being George is on to something when he says, “Wal-Mart has become a “god beside God” and answers to no one.
Moreover it seems that Wal-Mart have become a dictator in this country (and likely others too). They have and are killing small businesses. I actually heard a Wal-Mart commercial pushing socialized health care on talk radio. Well, no matter your view on President Obama’s Universal Health Care (Communism). This is not Wall-Mart or any other company’s domain, unless they are government agents. This can of worms is endless.
Any way when you go to Wal-Mart and can’t get help or the employees avoid you when you need customer service please understand that this is what Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Executives wants and NOT their employees.
We get reprimanded for taking time to actually provide any real customer assistance.Wal-Mart only needs mules to move around a bunch of China Made Junk for American Suckers. It is becoming clearer and clearer that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. cares little to nothing about there workers or providing good service to their customers. Well not me, anymore. I have seen the light!
