I bought this DVD when it came out as well. It didn't tell me alot I didn't already know but it certainly reinforced the way I already felt about the company.

At first my wife and I were going to boycott Wal-Mart.....then I did some research trying to figure out where the "labor friendly" place to shop was.
Turns out all the "big box" retailers are engaging in the same sort of practices, in an effort to keep up with the Waltons.

So really we don't have much of a choice when it comes to where to shop. We live in a "right to work" state so there are no grocery chains or general merchandisers with union employees here.

While I am appalled at the way the Wal Marts of the world do business, about all I can do about it is make a contribution to the AFL CIO and vote Democrat. *shrugs shoulders*
