Nominate Lee Scott as “Grinch of the Year”

Wal-Mart consistently puts profits before people, and it’s hurting America’s communities. Wal-Mart’s business practices harm not only its own employees, but also many other Americans who work in an economy of low wages and lower benefits. Wal-Mart harms our communities by frequently shirking tax responsibilities, taking much-needed money away from public schools and civil works. And Wal-Mart harms its own customers - the working families of America - by failing to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of its own products, and by standing in the way of other agencies to do so.

Nominate Wal-Mart’s CEO Lee Scott for “Grinch of the Year.” Go to Jobs with Justice to submit your nomination. Your nomination will make it clear that working families will not tolerate Wal-Mart’s stingy employment practices, unethical environmental policy, unfair treatment of suppliers and, most of all, lack of consideration for the safety of America’s consumers.

Again Matt, have to agree with student here. Where are your stats to back up such claims? If you don’t have any facts than I suppose you could just keep making them up as you go along. It’s a method you seem to have mastered so far...LOL!

Just curious, do you have anything negative at all to say about Walmart? I mean it seems impossible for anyone to be such a champion of one damn store. There are stores I prefer to shop at myself but I’m realistic and can see pros and cons of these establishments.
