Walmart Layoffs, Relocations and Employee Action

What is the employee impact arising from Walmart's relocation and layoff initiative and what actions should employees consider? Even if you've acted, there might be more to consider!
As an employee lawyer who looks at aspects of employment arrangements and employee layoffs from an angle that most other lawyers would appear to either overlook or not be interested in investigating, the recent announcement of substantial layoffs by Walmart at the corporate level was particularly concerning. Employees are effectively being provided but two choices, either (1) relocate one's life to Arkansas and leave everything you've worked for and built behind, including uprooting your family and all community ties (especially if forced to depart Toronto, Ontario, Canada) or (2) be permanently laid off and take Walmart's severance pay package, which has a lot of questions associated with it. https://www.employeelawyer.ca #employmentlaw
