| Low wages, poor benefits, and worker abuse are the hallmarks of Wal-Mart's business practices, and the retail giant is setting the example for companies all across America. You can learn more about how Wal-Mart's policies send American jobs overseas by watching the rebroadcast of PBS's 'Frontline' documentary, 'Is Wal-Mart Good for America?' on Tuesday, January 3. Click here to check local listings to see when the one-hour special -- one of the highest-rated programs in 'Frontline' history -- will air in your community. In 'Is Wal-Mart Good for America?', correspondent Hedrick Smith examines Wal-Mart as a global force changing the balance of power in the business world and leaving workers behind. You'll hear from an IBEW member who worked at television manufacturer Thomson Industries and see Rubbermaid's equipment auctioned off to Chinese buyers, illustrating how Wal-Mart's strong-arm tactics on suppliers to lower prices have driven jobs from once-solid American companies to low-wage operations overseas. You can learn more about the program on Frontline's website. Don't miss it! -- From UnionVoice.org |
