OMG! OSHA smacks down Wal-Mart!
Levies huge fine! Wall St. trembles for Wal-marts future!
A federal agency has cited Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for inadequate crowd management in the death of a worker at a New York store.Heh! The CEO of Wal-Mart farts more value than that, but they will still spend $thousands on lawyers to overturn it so they can continue to brag about how well they threat their minions.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued the citation Tuesday. It says Wal-Mart should have recognized the need for effective crowd management during its sales blitz the day after Thanksgiving.
The world's largest retailer faces a $7,000 fine but has 15 days to respond to the citation. A company spokesman did not immediately comment.
A crowd broke down the Valley Stream store's doors last year. Temporary worker Jdimytai Damour (jih-mee-TREE' dih-MOHR') was trapped in a vestibule and asphyxiated.
He had been on the job about a week with no training in security or crowd control.
