According to Garth Brooks, "it's great to work for Wal-Mart." But what would happen if Garth found out what it's really like to work for the retail giant? What would he have to say about Wal-Mart's ruthless campaign against workers' rights? We've taken it upon ourselves to update a classic Garth hit and released a new 'music video' giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Wal-Mart treats its workers. The cartoon even ruffled a few feathers at Wal-Mart HQ in Bentonville. A Wal-Mart spokeswoman told an Arkansas newspaper that "it's a shame that this group would use this type of publicity stunt to take away from what we do to help working families save money every day." Of course, what's really a shame is how far Wal-Mart will go to keep workers from standing up for themselves. When Wal-Mart employees try to form a union, they often face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, and even firings. |
