Description
The UFCW's campaign against Wal-Mart has been having a definite impact on Wal-Mart's bottom line. A recent article in the New York Times says that according to Wal-Mart's own surveys, 2 to 8% of all shoppers have stopped shopping at Wal-Mart because of "negative press they have heard." This translates into billions of dollars in lost revenue and profits for Wal-Mart.
The avalanche of bad publicity for Wal-Mart stores has spilled over to the web in a humorous way with two popular animations. The web site Jib Jab recently released "Bix Box Mart" which takes some pointed shots at American consumerism and corporate greed that's leading to massive layoffs and a surge in low-paying service sector jobs at retail stores like Wal-Mart. And Wal-Mart Workers Rights recently rolled out their "Friends With Low Wages" animation, putting a negatgive spin on country crooner Garth Brooks' deal with Wal-Mart to sell his records exclusively with the retail giant.
President Bush’s Social Security privatization plan would devastate working families—while handing billions of dollars to rich Wall Street investment companies. Privatization plans to replace guaranteed benefits with risky private accounts would fatally undermine Social Security, cut benefits drastically, most likely raise workers’ retirement age—and saddle our children with $2 trillion in debt.
