Walmart set to spread H1N1 virus.

Prompted by reports from many other Walmart employees across the
country, the National Labor Committee (NLC), a nonprofit organization
that supports workers' rights, published a report Tuesday bashing
Walmart's sick leave policy, which they said "gives workers demerits
and deducts pay for staying home when they are sick or to care for a
sick child."
