Yes to Montgomery County Big Box Standards

The Montgomery County Council held a hearing Nov 1. on a bill that would require all big-box stores, including Wal-Mart, to meet with community groups and try to agree on subjects ranging from wages and benefits to traffic and environmental issues.

Progressive Maryland president Elbridge James (also representing the state NAACP) and Progressive Maryland board member Tony Perez (representing UFCW Local 400) were among those testifying.
