"Thomas Coughlin, who was vice chairman of Wal-Mart's board and formerly held the title of president of Wal-Mart Stores, resigned from the world's largest retailer in March after Wal-Mart found what it said was a pattern of expense-account abuses and the use of false invoices to obtain reimbursements.
"Following his resignation, accusations emerged that Coughlin may have
used undocumented expense payments of as much as $500,000 to pay for anti-union activities."

"Forbes magazine points out that if Wal-Mart were its own economy, it would rank 23rd in the world, with a GDP between Austria and Saudi Arabia. It is the largest private employer in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It holds a 8.9 percent retail store market share; in other words, $8.90 out of every $100 spent in American stores is spent at Wal-Mart."

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that there are people like you who take the time to expose the powers and principalities that pollute and cheapen Gods creation, their (walmarts) practices are the veiled violence that has destroyed so much of the beauty of this world.
