I found an interesting blog about
Wal-Mart. It says " The Best and the Worst about Wal-Mart," but I can't imagine that being very balanced. I given 'em 2 weeks before they're sued.
Here's a great article on the most depressing place on earth, by
Jim Hightower of all people.
As Charlie Kernaghan of the National Labor Committee reports, "In country after country, factories that produce for Wal-Mart are the worst," adding that the bottom-feeding labor policy of this one corporation "is actually lowering standards in China, slashing wages and benefits, imposing long mandatory-overtime shifts, while tolerating the arbitrary firing of workers who even dare to discuss factory conditions."
Good to know that Wal-Mart isn't just fucking up America, but China, too. I'd hate for them to be left out.
