Wal-Mart picks on Nuns.....
Mood:
accident prone
Now Playing: I have not shopped at Wal-Mart in 4 years ....here is one reason why
Topic: CORPORATE CRAP
I found this today on the web The creeps that run Wal-Mart are messing with nuns! Ya....... I just called them Wal-Mart guys creeps! http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA050407.nunsvswalmart.KENS.3a704ac5.html Wal-Mart labels Boerne nuns a security threatWeb Posted: 05/05/2007 Nydia Lopez KENS 5 Eyewitness News It's a David versus Goliath battle heating up in the Hill Country — a group of nuns from Boerne is taking a stand against Wal-Mart. The corporate giant reportedly labeled the nuns a security threat after they raised questions about Wal-Mart's business practices. Sister Susan Mika is part of the Benedectine Sisters, which is part of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. The center has been questioning Wal-Mart's business practices for years. "We've been raising questions with them for about 17 years, so it's not like they don't know it," Sister Mika said. Now, the sisters find themselves on Wal-Mart's security threat list. Sister Mika said the group has been wrongly labeled. "In no way have we ever been a threat to the company in that sense. We might be a threat in the kind of question that we're asking, but not a security threat," Sister Mika said. The sisters have raised questions on wages, human rights, health care and the pay disparity between CEOs and workers. They believe that's why Wal-Mart has launched a surveillance operation on the small church group. "We wanted to find out more about what was actually happening, and did they do any surveillance on us, either personally or as a community, and to let us know what that would be, and to apologize to us," Sister Mika said. Calls from KENS 5 to a Wal-Mart spokesperson went unreturned. The nuns say they want an apology and will continue to raise concerns and issues until someone launches an investigation into thousands of allegations against Wal-Mart.

WAL-MART Is Exploiting Child Labor Laws
Mood:
crushed out
Now Playing: This holiday season, tell Wal-Mart to adopt a zero tolerance policy on child labor
Topic: CORPORATE CRAP
Wal-Mart has repeatedly violated U.S. child labor laws and profited from overseas child labor abuses.
A recent investigation revealed children, some only 11 years old, were making Wal-Mart clothes in a Bangladesh factory. The children report being routinely slapped and beaten, forced to work 12 to 14 hours a day, often seven days a week, for wages as low as 6 and a half cents an hour.
In the United States, Wal-Mart's own internal audit found 1,371 instances in which minors worked too late at night, during school hours, or too many hours in a day. It also found 60,767 instances of workers missing breaks and 15,705 instances where employees were forced to work and miss meal times.
Despite all of this, Wal-Mart refuses to adopt a zero tolerance policy on child labor! Our children deserve better from Wal-Mart.

I am deeply disturbed to find out that Wal-Mart has repeatedly violated U.S. child labor laws and profited from overseas child labor abuses.
[your comment here]
The following facts are unacceptable:
- In the United States, Wal-Mart's own internal audit found "extensive violations" of child-labor laws and state regulations.
- The audit of one week’s time clock records found 1,371 instances in which minors worked too late at night, during school hours, or too many hours in a day. It also found 60,767 instances of workers missing breaks and 15,705 instances where employees were forced to work and miss meal times.
- A recent investigation revealed children, some only 11 years old, were making Wal-Mart clothes in a Bangladesh factory. The children report being routinely slapped and beaten, forced to work 12 to 14 hours a day, often seven days a week, for wages as low as 6 and a half cents an hour.
How can Wal-Mart do this to children? As a Wal-Mart shopper, I demand that you adopt a zero tolerance policy on child labor.
Sincerely,
Joe Anybody 12-10-06 Sign The Pitition To Mr Scott at Wal Mart - Click Here -

Russian Military raid an IBM office in Moscow
Mood:
incredulous
Now Playing: Black Masked and with Fully Automatic Weapons
Topic: CORPORATE CRAP
I read with a bit of shock this odd story of a "Raid" in Moscow. "Why is IBM getting raided by Government Military with masks on?" Below is the first few paragraphs of the short article: Russian law enforcement personnel armed with automatic weapons swept through IBM's offices in Moscow Wednesday morning, seizing documents as they went, according to sources familiar with the operation. The motive for the raid was not immediately clear. A spokesman for IBM said the company is "cooperating with the authorities" but declined further comment. A blogger who works at the office said the raid was carried out by the OMON special forces unit attached to Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Masked people with machine guns are wandering around the office ... they told us to leave our belongings and cell phones there and leave the room," the blogger wrote. MORE HERE

Mostly the concept is to pump music and ADDS into the busses, while selling the idea of Safety and getting the children to behave. Then there is the giving away of PRIZES if the child goes and "LOGS-IN on-line" to the company (propaganda) website and listens to more adds selling products all of course, in between music and prizes and sales pitches, oh my! Ahhhhhhhh..this is HOGWASH, its corporate sales to kids crap! I found this Portland Oregon website which has publicized and interesting thing worth reading over. I urge you to check it out, and take action as I did. It is called the Children's Bill Of Rights you can read it here at this link I provide for all my "child caring concerned good Z3 Readers" http://www.commercialalert.org/pbor.pdf Now Get Active ***** Send you congressman a quick Internet email to let him know you are concerned and aware that a slime ball is loose in our kids school buss, and its not just and only the buss issue. It is in regards to pushing products at our children, it is about stopping corporations from sell and promoting JUNK SLIME AND GARBAGE to the little kids....it must be stopped by people like you and me ...we can help make change, little kids don't need this, and I don't want them to have it! I ask you Zebra3 Report Readers, Please Support the Parents' Bill of Rights!Tell your Members of Congress that children are more important than corporate profits. It's quick and real easy to do. http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/commercialalert/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=577

Because Wal Mart Screws over Employees by not allowing lunch, They lose 172$ million Lawsuit today in court. Read more HERE on this issue and other related ones. Wal Mart The Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer, which earned $10 billion last year, who just settled a similar lawsuit in Colorado for $50 million, now settles another court case today in OAKLAND, California - A California jury on Thursday awarded $172 million to thousands of employees at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. who claimed they were illegally denied lunch breaks.HAHAHA a huge billion-dollar company that wants to FUCK workers over HAHAHAHA now they will pay I never shop at this degrading store I refuse to have any part of their abuses by these mega corporations. They cut pay They cut health care. They cut benefits. They move overseas to pay slave wages. They are Dirty Bastards. They screw their own workers over time and time again Today is time to celebrate 172 million dollars!Of course they will appeal and as He (Wal-Mart attorney Neal Manne) conceded that Wal-Mart made mistakes in not always allowing for lunch breaks when the 2001 law took affect, but said the company is “ 100 percent” in compliance now. They knew damn well to give the poor workers a lunch break BUT Wal Mart had to have a court tell them to do it. AND then they had to get fined 172 million dollars SO ….they can say they are now 100% compliant .......NOW!!!!! they Are !!!!!!! hahahaha (stupid-cheap-skates) to late now you CEO tightwads’ …NOW! Who’s next????? we are just warming up ! No Lunches for Staff = Corporate Bastards (I bet the CEO had his corporate lunch every single day) BOYCOTT THIS CESSPOOL they call a Store!
