Good news: Wal-Mart has finally returned control of Debbie Shank’s bank account to her family. At last, Debbie’s husband Jim can get back to paying Debbie’s medical bills and focus on providing some quality of life for her.
Jim Shank sat down to record this special thank you message to members of the Wal-Mart Watch community:
Like Jim, we’re so grateful for the help and support you’ve given to his family. Your dedication to this cause was critical in creating the tremendous public pressure which ultimately forced the company to do the right thing for Debbie Shank.
It’s also a reminder of just how important it is to keep the pressure on this company to make positive changes. We hope you’ll continue to support our efforts to hold Wal-Mart accountable. Click here to share this message with friends.

From 1998 - 2006 I made a living supervising Wal-mart construction projects. I hated every aspect of dealing with WM and their employees.
The Shanks case caused my entire family to vow to never again spend a cent in a WM or SAMS.
Last weekend we joined COSTCO.
What a difference;
Bigger selection, Good prices, friendly efficient employees.
Should have done it earlier.
