Subject: FW: reportonbusiness.com globeinvestor.com - Wal-Mart Canada closes auto shop after
Please take the time to read the link below. This is a good summary of what has been taking place with the struggles that workers have been having with tyrants like Wal-Mart. Even with the court sanctioned win, which showed that these people were being under paid, this multi national still cried the blues and shut them down. Ironic I think...considering 3 out of the top 10 richest people in the USA are from the family which owns Wal-Mart, and yet that corporation could not find it in their billions of dollars budget to pay employees what the court said they were worth. Think about that the next time you need to shop! Thank you for the information Arnold.
