15 years ago, I worked at Walmart. Note the poverty income, no unions, no real savings. Basically average US citizen, not the HN bubble.

I got injured with a malfunctioning pallet jack. Went to ER and got Xrays.

Week later, was fired. My paperwork explicitly said I got fired for getting injured at work and costing the company money.

Went to 6 different lawyers. Had to ask for pro-bono. I couldn't afford a lawyer.

All refused. Why? None of them could deal with a Walmart lawsuit. None.

I had them dead-to-rights with a wrongful termination. Double manager signature. Even recorded their termination on my phone, on the sly (in single party state). They even admitted to forging a different manager. None of it matters.
