rehire him after he was fired for helping a woman who was being attacked in the
store parking lot during his meal break.Kristopher Oswald, 30, who worked
nights stocking shelves at a Wal-Mart store in Hartland Township, located
northwest of Detroit, said on Friday that he does not feel safe going back to

retaliation and offered to accommodate Oswald with safety measures such as an
escort to and from his vehicle into the store. Read more.
