    Attacking Wal-Mart's Supply Chain By Yoshie Furuhashi, counterpunch.org
    Wal-Mart's dedication to 'low, low wages' is a satirist's dream. The Onion zeroes in on it in 'Wal-Mart Announces Massive Rollback on Employee Wages':

    photo: A sign announces a Louisville, KY Wal-Mart's low, low wage for cashiers.

    The Onion can take on 'the $259 billion retail behemoth' satirically, but can American trade unions organize it, whose managers are directed by Bentonville to make 'a full-time commitment' to 'staying union-free'?
