A major pension fund and longtime investor in Walmart has blacklisted the retailing behemoth, citing poor labor practices and the company's anti-union stance as the driving force behind its rejection. Ed Schultz invites Robert Greenwald (producer of "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price") on his radio show to discuss the implications.

  • This is exactly right! I worked at a Wal-Mart for almost a year and a half and it was shameful. They do anything to keep the people who work their poor. The worst part was that it could have been a great job if it paid better. I actually liked working their other, and it was an ok job, but I am a single guy, and most of the people I worked with were crushingly poor folks with families.

  • Walmart will be the first place looted, when the zombie apocalypse happens, so it's got that going for it

    ...which is nice!

  • @MrStonemike What an odd response! I am sure some of them may be gutless, but unless their heads are separated from their bodies, they will compete...

    ...FOR BRAINS!!!!!

  • @MrStonemike you sure are a moron

  • @MrStonemike you sure are a moron

  • @etniks69 The no-government society has an appeal but our current society is in large part a workless society and it is clearly destroying America. Basics never change , a society must produce more than it gives away and the US is fast overloading that equation! No work and redistribution of wealth destroys all self respect and initiative!

  • @MrStonemike

    I have to admit the more I learn about how corrupt government has become, the more I am turning into an anarchist, something I never thought I would.

    The VENUS Project proposes a no-government society with most work done by robots. Have you checked them out?

    It sounds very utopian but at this point, learning about how corrupt the US government is, I am willing to check anything else where no politicians are allowed

  • @spankywzl The idiots who desire some sort of anarchy take over of world wealth will deservedly be the first to die in that scenario. They are lazy, useless, gutless humans that are not capable of competing , they should be aborted!

  • @TheGrama4 Absolutely the American answer, but the "radical redistribution sector" of global groups would really prefer an omnipotent authority to force the Walton family into destitution. Justice is one thing , but entitlement and psychotic jealousy makes me sick and will enslave all humanity if allowed to flourish!

  • @etniks69 Wal Mart is not just the problem , our unamerican government micro-manages and regulates all American business to death domestically , yet encourages out sourcing of everything while using inside information to become wealthy themselves. Lets face it , government must be rolled back giving Americans the same freedoms we had one hundred years ago, and no, before you progressives go nuts, I'm not suggesting the labor laws of the past!

  • @da5id6301 No, but their Dad did and real danger comes from "entitlement radicalism" of sectors of our societies that believe the general populace has more claim to the Walton fortune than his own family. These are the same warped ideologies that believe I should pay more for a phone so non productive bums can have a phone given to them free!

  • All abuses by Wal Mart even if you take these claims at face value can be remedied simply by the public refusing to buy at Wal Mart, I'm all for decent working conditions for people but radical progressivism, eco-radicalism , and globalism as manifested in the United Nations threatens to enslave the whole of humanity, installing militant redistribution of the Earths'wealth with no room for hard work or individual initiative! We , as supposed compassionate people must be very careful of jealousy
