5.Traffic impact--Traffic congestion, noise and air pollution, and multiple thousands of tractor trailer trips a year.
6.Walmart's Anti-Worker Policies--International NGO Human Rights Watch calls Walmart “a case study of what is wrong with American labor law.

20 September, 2011 - SgtStedanko | 0 Comments

U.S. trade officials will announce a major trade enforcement action against China on Tuesday, according to an advisory from the U.S. Trade Representative's office.

The advisory, which was obtained from a business group, said U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk "will hold a press conference to announce a major trade enforcement action against China." It gave no other details.

One possible action could target China's export restrictions on rare earths, which are crucial for global electronics production and the defense and renewable energy industries.

Wal-Mart loses $187.6M worker break case

13 June, 2011 - SgtStedanko | 0 Comments

Wal-Mart Stores Inc has lost its appeal of most of a $187.6 million verdict for Pennsylvania hourly workers who accused the world's largest retailer of denying them meal and rest breaks.

A three-judge panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on Friday said there was sufficient evidence for Philadelphia jurors in 2006 to conclude that Wal-Mart's practices violated state wage and hour laws. It also said Wal-Mart's own internal review uncovered violations regarding "off-the-clock" work.

The case was brought on behalf of about 187,000 current and former Wal-Mart workers in Pennsylvania from 1998 to 2006.

They contended that the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company's engaged in improper practices to enhance productivity, boost profit and cut costs.

"The record reflects testimony and documentary evidence suggesting that because of pressure from the home office to reduce labor costs and the availability of significant bonuses for managers based on store profitability, Wal-Mart's scheduling program created chronic understaffing, leading to widespread rest-break violations," the appeals court said.

It nonetheless ordered the trial court to recalculate a $45.6 million award of legal fees, saying that court erred by "double-counting" some factors.

"We're committed to paying our associates for every hour they work and to providing them with meal and rest breaks," Wal-Mart spokesman Greg Rossiter said. "That's our policy and we take it very seriously. In this case, we believe that the trial court's decision was wrong in a number of respects and we look forward to additional review in the courts."

The case was brought by Michelle Braun and Dolores Hummel, who had respectively worked in Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in eastern Pennsylvania, and drew on evidence from roughly 46 million shifts, court records show.

Judith Spanier, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers, said in a statement that Wal-Mart wanted to "walk away" from its own business records, saying they were so inaccurate that they could not be used as proof.

Performance review for Boycott Wal*Mart

Boycott Wal*Mart likes to work with problems and enjoys problem-solving sessions. They present ideas and solutions but these are sometimes limited or unworkable. Question-marks over physical fitness and may not be ready at this time for a physically demanding job. Interested in learning about other people and the world, but tends to let others ask the questions and find the answers. Missed more than 2 but fewer than 5 days without valid reason in 6 months.

Есть только одна цель коммунизма - ликвидация частной собственности. Одна из предпосылок для установления капитализма — частная собственность. Вода и огонь не допускаются, нет места для компромисса. Если это «Разногласия» все еще могут быть разрешены путем переговоров, но вы умираете от фундаментального конфликта, в котором я живу, но и с нетерпением ждёте улучшения, но также слишком «Чэнь Шицю».

China is the largest exporter to the U.S. economy in virtually all consumer goods categories. Wal-Mart is the leading retailer in the U.S. economy in virtually all consumer goods categories. Wal-Mart and China are a joint venture
