    Wal-Mart marches on amidst rising tensions - By Emma Dumain and Maxine Kaplan, Oberlin Review, OH

    Some feared it was the start of another union conflict, recalling how the last academic year opened with the threat of a major strike. But soon it became evident that this rat, far from its usual symbolic role as a warning to picket-jumpers, was no ordinary rat. This was the Walmrat.
