"Save jobs"
The Editor,
I am very upset to learn that when
WalMart takes over the Hawkesbury
Zellers store, all the personnel will be
terminated.
Theymay have a chance to apply for a
job at the WalMart but they will have to
start all over andwill lose all the seniority
they have hadwith Zellers. I think this is
a disgrace.
I go to that store two and sometimes
more times a week and the staff is
excellent.
They don’t deserve to lose their jobs.
I would like to suggest that a petition
or survey be undertaken to get enough
signatures to try to save these jobs and at
leastletthemanagementofWalMartknow
howwe feel about all these people losing
jobs and seniority.
