Wal-Mart Criticism Approaches Tipping Point...
The New York Times:
CRITICISM of Wal-Mart may have reached a tipping point, Liza Featherstone writes in Salon.com this week.
"Firing whistle-blowers. Discriminating against women (and, most recently, black truck drivers). Violating child labor laws. Locking workers into stores overnight. Mooching off taxpayers. Disregarding local zoning laws. Mistreating immigrant janitors. Abusing young Bangladeshi women. Paying poverty-level wages in the United States. Destroying small-town America. If you read any newspapers - or even watch 'The Daily Show' - you can probably guess which company has been grabbing headlines for these and countless other charges and offenses."
