    Wal-Mart gets advance warning of labor inspections through secret sweetheart deal with George W. Bush Administration Union Network International
    According to the New York Times, the Labor Department had given Wal-Mart a 15 days notice before any additional investigations or audits would take place, and then an additional 10 days to correct any violations.

    'Just as the police wouldn't phone a thief to give him time to leave a crime scene, the federal government shouldn't slow-walk these types of investigations', said U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) to the Hartford Courant.
