While the United States continues to focus on unemployment, a deeper-rooted issue in African American communities across the country is underemployment – being forced into jobs that are low wage, that provide few (if any) benefits, and insufficient hours. This is a resounding problem facing many workers and families in Black America, and neither Republicans nor Democrats will be able to fix the jobs problems without real changes from our country’s largest employers, like Walmart.
Walmart is the largest employer in the United States and it is the largest employer of African-Americans in the United States.
In this episode, Rev. Eric Lee (president and CEO of The Christian Southern Leadership Conference – Los Angeles) and James Washington (a two year WalMart associate in Chicago) talk about how WalMart treats its employees unfairly. For the last five years, Rev. Lee has part of a campaign focused on improving employee treatment at Walmart. James is a Chicago born father of two who is a merchandise supervisor at WalMart and is making $10.45 an hour.
During our discussion, they discuss:
– The background on this movement and some stories on how Walmart mistreats its employees and how this could become the benchmark for how retail employees are treated
– Some questionable employee practices
– Do they think WalMart good for America?
– What does WalMart needs to change and what will it take for WalMart to change?
– What can Black America do?

How sexual sin destroys the beautiful gift that God has given us. How to be healed from past sexual sin so that you can have the glory that God planned us to have. Sex is sacred; it involves everything we are (Spirit, Soul and Body). God, with our cooperation, will redeem the damage and restore to us the gift.
