I'd rather pay $1.99 for the shirt at Goodwill where they hire Americans and help disabled people.

"So in effect you are saying that Walmart should bully all their suppliers as to how they should run and organize their plants. "
You don't know too much about the way walmart works, do you. |

I am only bringing this up because you are so perfect in your posts as to correct my using two words when refrencing Walmart as Wal Mart. As I said Glass houses. If its to hot in the kitchen then leave. If you cannot take critisim but only dish it out...well that says a lot about your character. BTW it is time to throw in "DUDE".

"you are so perfect in your posts as to correct my using two words when refrencing Walmart as Wal Mart."
Aces, I am puzzled. In your post dated "Nov 29, 2012 10:43am" you DID write it as Walmart. Slide appears to have quoted you accurately. Did a mod adjust the spelling in your original post?

On Nov 23 here is his post as I posted Walmart as Wal Mart several times previously. HIS POST: "FYI Aces, Walmart is one word, not two." So I am not sure what you are referring to about your refrence to Nov 29 as to why you brought it up. Again I think you just got it confused. Easy to do in this type of format.

Reading this article, you see the real problems with this factory - which have virtually nothing to do with Walmart. This would not have happened in America, as we have building codes and inspectors:

If three quarters of those came up through the ranks that means that only six out of three hundred - two percent - were able to advance. The fact is that there is little opportunity to advance beyond a poverty level wage. It is a fact that most Walmart workers remain eligible for food stamps. |

The fact is that too many companies outsource production to countries where there are no building codes, inspectors, worker safety rules, etc. And it is done simply to save costs.
