Should Wal-Mart have fired worker who saw dog in hot truck?

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 11 Juli 2013 | 22.40

A former Wal-Mart employee in Kemptville, Ont., about 60 km south of Ottawa, was fired for confronting a customer who left a dog in a truck during a hot day this week, she says.

Carla Cheney told CBC News she hadn't yet started her shift, and she was in her street clothes outside the store with colleagues when she spotted a Wal-Mart customer leaving his dog in a parked truck.

She said she called police, and an officer arrived to get the man's licence plate, then headed into the store to find him.

Later that day, Cheney said, she was called into the office of her manager, with whom she had spoken a week earlier about a different dog left in a hot car. She recounted that he told her there was nothing she could do about it.

She said she told him her side of the story about the dog in the truck, and he told her to come to him with any problems in the future. Cheney said she wouldn't do that.

Cheney was then let go.

'Safety is, without question, our top priority'

In an emailed statement, Wal-Mart Canada wouldn't comment on Cheney's case but it said it has guidelines that cover situations like the one Cheney faced. It is reviewing them with staff in Kemptville and across the country.

"Safety is, without question, our number one priority. Each and every associate is expected to address a safety concern as appropriate, and as a minimum inform management," the statement released Wednesday said.

"We have a comprehensive set of safety processes and policies to ensure a safe work and shopping environment. Regarding respect for our customers and associates, we are all expected to be courteous and respectful."

A Facebook page supporting Cheney called "Animal Rights for Kemptville Walmart" had almost more than 4,700 members as of early Thursday morning.
