Our friends over at Texas Fair Trade Coalition have alerted us to the fact that this week (13th-19th) is Wal-Mart week. Over 400 organizations from across the country—from small business owners and women’s rights groups to environmentalists and labor unions —are coming together to stand up to Wal-Mart. What will you do? Go to Wal-Mart Watch to find out more, take the pledge and join the fight against one of our country’s most unscrupulous employers.

These folks really don’t like Wal-Mart…at all!

I hope they gave up on that assholic idea of filling up shopping carts and then leaving, so that the workers have to restock shelves with tons of displaced products.. if it only hurt the CEOs then it might be a good idea, but the employees get screwed over enough by WalMart, we shouldn't make their jobs even worse.
