can wear either darker shade of blue or a dark green like hunter green or forest green (officially) but as long as management doesn't bitch then many shades of either are okay. I've seen associates I worked with wear neon green and powder blue.

I see what you mean, but I thought these colors symbolized the strikers only.

I haven't been to a WalMart in years. They seem to flourish in red areas, blue areas seem to prefer COSTCO. Just a regional thing. It will be great if WalMart unionizes, they treat their workers badly. It will send a ripple through business worldwide.

Every week, or every few days, he gives us another example of what leadership, vision, or compassion and principled virtue is all about. Grayson/Warren 2016 sound good to me.
