Critics are calling out Hollywood star Tom Cruise this week for praising Walmart as “a role model” that has "improve[d] women’s lives around the world" during the retailer’s shareholder meeting earlier in June, according to MSNBC.
Cruise, who was joined at the event by fellow celebrities Hugh Jackman and Kelly Clarkson, also called Walmart a “role model for how business can address some of the biggest issues facing our world, in ways big and small."
The claim drew criticism from some activists, who called Cruise's comments out of touch with reality. Cruise "didn’t really tell the truth about what happens on a day-to-day basis,” one activist told MSNBC. Others took to social media to criticize the actor,accusing him of being a "tool," among other things.

Obamacare Is Turning Walmart Workers Into Temps
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) opponents warned it would happen, but now there’s mounting proof that full-time employees are being replaced with part-timers, at least in the retail industry where Walmart is focused on keeping the majority of workers to part-time hours only.
A new hiring policy uncovered byReuters shows that nearly half of its stores are only hiring part-time employees, thus avoiding the mandate to provide health care or pay a fine.
A Reuters survey of 52 stores run by the largest U.S. private employer in the past month, including one in every U.S. state, showed that 27 were hiring only temps, 20 were hiring a combination of regular full, part-time and temp jobs, and five were not hiring at all.
It’s company directive, according to sources interviewed by Reuters who asked to remain anonymous.
