post #2

It is unbelievable that in the twenty first century there are employers who keep taking advantage of worker people, and do not respect any law as they were in the Old west. “Wal-Mart has responded to the union drive by trying to stop workers from organizing -- sometimes in violation of federal labor law. In 10 separate cases, the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Wal-Mart repeatedly broke the law by interrogating workers, confiscating union literature, and firing union supporters”. Clearly, in this piece of paragraph from Karen Olsson’s essay called “up against Wal-Mart”, we can see how workers do not have any right working for Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart workers are abused by their superiors which do whatever they want to prevent they join to form an Union.


this is one of the paragraphs of my draft. This paragraph has what i say, what they say and also response or so what?, but i do not know yet where to put it...

Getting experience

Definitely, when people try to find a job many obstacles are on the way. The first time that I looked for a job I was 17, and it happened in my country specifically in my city called Cuenca. I look in a lot of places, getting any hope. A few weeks passed, and my aunt mother’s brother decided to open a glass store. He knew that I was looking for a job and offered me the chance to work with him. I grew up in an ambient where find a job is very difficult, and day by day people struggle to get the minimum wage. Now, I am here in the capital of the world New York City doing like all the people of my country, I am struggling to get a better future. I am full time student and also work full time. I think that the many responsibilities that I had when I grew up as take care of my siblings when I was child gave me the sufficient strength to fight in this country for all my goals. So now, here I am doing my best in this new stage of my life.
