http://dirtdiggersdigest.org/archives/7 chronicling corporate misbehavior (and how to research it) Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:30:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://dirtdiggersdigest.org/archives/7/comment-page-1#comment-293 Lainey Selover Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:23:52 +0000 http://dirtdiggersdigest.org/archives/7#comment-293 Wal-Mart's scope goes far beyond an obligation to the environment, it should first start with its employess, most of whom are living below the average poverty level, its obligation to women employes, to stop systematic sex discrimination (who make up the vast majority of their workers), and then to the American economy. How can a company claim to be "American" when the majority of its manufacturers are overseas and Wal-Mart has created increased poverty levels due to putting family businesses out on the streets (not to mention manufacturers). Wal-Mart drains the American economy through making its money off the backs of the poor/working class, subsidies given by states, and exploiting workers overseas. THE ENVIRONMENT!!!! Wal-Mart can't even take responsability for these ongoing pressing issues, and any attempt to go GREEEN, will merely be to silence the voice of one of its biggest critics. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS FAUX ATTEMPT OF DUTY AND OBLIGATION, WAL-MART KNOWS NO SUCH THING. What Wal-Mart can't destroy here will be done overseas. As the consumer you have the power of the dollar, don't let Wal-Mart get yours.
