Wall Mart Ministries

Wal Mart and Black Friday

Wall Mart Ministries
With Black Friday and the slave wages it pays its employees, Wal Mart continues to hide behind family values and the Christian right while at the same time offering little hope for a decent life among its workers. Wal Mart and many large companies like them make record profits at the expense of the working class. What will it take for them to stop and realize that the workers in this country will no longer be threatened by their practices of being locked out and treated like human resources meant to be used up and spat out by their employers? With luck, the Black Friday strikes will hurt them financially and their shareholders. With this drawing I hope to symbolize what Wal Mart really stands for. The spelling of Wal Mart in the title of this work shows that they are part of Wall Street.
