An 18% increase is significant and worth mentioning.

Glad that you are enjoying the dividend increase! In order for you to receive your raise more workers qualified for welfare, routine maintenance was curtailed for almost a quarter instead of one month and the purchase of general operating supplies was suspended,including those for the employees' lunchroom. Your raise might have been greater if we had not had to purchase more wet floor buckets because of the increasing roof leaks. Enjoy, Godspeed and good fortune!

Your local union rep feeding you lines again? Cry me a river and tell that to the people who are employed by Walmart. They can very well go anywhere else to work can't they? First Big oil is a national threat, now it's Walmart! oh dear oh my, what ever will we do.
