Goal Progress:
Wal-Mart is eating our savings. The world in total wastes $220 billion dollars on this expanding empire. This seemingly happy, low-priced store is in fact extremely corrupt. The average employee makes around $15,000 a year. There is obvious blatant disreguard for law. Sexism is apparent, for most women's complaints are never confronted or dealt with, though a whopping 75% of salespeople for this company are women. And they put up a 'We Buy American' front. It's a huge lie. What they don't tell you is that your 'convieniently low prices' are created by miserable factory workers who are practically held prisoner in extremely low-standard factories and forced to labor inhumanely and suffer, though there is a 'Global Code of Conduct.' "In "Toys of Misery," a shocking 58-page report that the establishment media ignored, NLC describes: 13- to 16-hour days molding, assembling, and spray-painting toys from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. or even midnight, seven days a week, with 20-hour shifts in peak season. Even though China's minimum wage is 31 cents an hour -- which doesn't begin to cover a person's basic subsistence-level needs -- these production workers are paid 13 cents an hour. Workers typically live in squatter shacks, seven feet by seven feet, or jammed in company dorms, with more than a dozen sharing a cubicle costing $1.95 a week for rent. They pay about $5.50 a week for lousy food. They also must pay for their own medical treatment and are fired if they are too ill to work."
Doesn't that make you sick to know that Wal-Mart is just spreading it's empire?
"As for Wal-Mart's highly vaunted "code of conduct," NLC could not find a single worker who had ever seen or heard of it. These factories employ mostly young women and teenage girls. Wal- Mart, renowned for knowing every detail of its global business operations and for calculating every penny of a product's cost, knows what goes on inside these places. Yet, when confronted with these facts, corporate honchos claim ignorance and wash their hands of the exploitation: "There will always be people who break the law," says CEO Lee Scott. "It is an issue of human greed among a few people." Those "few people" include him, other top managers, and the Walton billionaires. Each of them not only knows about their company's exploitation, but willingly prospers from a corporate culture that demands it. "Get costs down" is Wal-Mart's mantra and modus operandi, and that translates into a crusade to stamp down the folks who produce its goods and services, shamelessly building its low-price strategy and profits on their backs. Worse, Wal-Mart is on a messianic mission to extend its exploitative ethos to the entire business world. More than 65,000 companies supply the retailer with the stuff on its shelves, and it constantly hammers each supplier about cutting their production costs deeper and deeper in order to get cheaper wholesale prices. Some companies have to open their books so Bentonville executives can red-pencil what CEO Scott terms "unnecessary costs." "
Also, there was a report of an Arizona truck driver who discovered horror behind a Wal-Mart: "He said that he went into the back of WALMART, and behind the store there was a HUGE area that was fenced in with barbed wire, JUST like in the prisons! He said it was fixed to where once you were held in it, you couldn't get out. It was very high, and there were some kind of stands (like stadium bleacher seats) all around it, and it looked like a military style setting. He also said there was nothing in the enclosed area YET, but it was just closed in with barbed wire. Could this be part of the martial law future scenario to come? This truck driver who saw it said it looked like it was there to hold a large number of people. I've heard reports concerning WALMART's covert involvement in things of this nature, and how the government and military are planning to pick people up under martial law and take them to holding facilities like this nationwide. The truck driver was badly shaken over seeing all of this. He said he asked some one about it, and no one would tell him anything about it at WALMART! "
