Wal-Mart fires head office staff Wal-Mart cuts down its head office staff. One hundred workers will have to go. At the same time, three hundred positions will be eliminated, which means that they will not be filled. Wal-Mart's profit margins have been under pressure lately and the company says that the lay-offs are part of cutting expenses. Wal-Mart is known as a bad employer in the United States, paying its store workers wages below collective agreement levels and denying many of them the health insurance, which others enjoy. As part of its social dumping approach, the company goes to great lengths to stop its workers from joining their trade union, UFCW.
