Race to the Bottom By Liza Featherstone, The Nation
Wal-Mart is working for everyone,' read the newspaper ad, which ran in January in more than 100 newspapers nationwide, including the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. 'Some of our critics are working only for themselves.' The same day, the company launched walmartfacts.com, a website to counter criticism of the kind you may have read in this magazine. Along with some misleading information intended to make Wal-Mart's wages and benefits sound much better than they are, the new campaign materials feature many smiling African-American faces; the website explains, accurately, that Wal-Mart is a 'leading employer' of Hispanics and African-Americans.
As Jesse Jackson and other black leaders have pointed out in response to this boast, the slave plantation was once a 'leading employer' of African-Americans as well.------------------------------------------- posted 12:06 PM :: reference link ::
