Voters Decide On Wal-Mart NBC 4 - News
LOS ANGELES -- A proposal to allow a Wal-Mart Supercenter to be built between The Forum and Hollywood Park in Inglewood was soundly rejected Wednesday, despite the company spending more than $1 million on its campaign.
The United Food and Commercial Workers union, which represents market clerks, and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor are among those who fought the project.
'This in an international crisis wherein one globalizes capital but does not globalize worker standards and health care standards, environmental standards, standards for women,' the Rev. Jesse Jackson told a crowd at an anti-Wal-Mart rally Tuesday. 'We do not mind competing with China on an even playing field.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
