[Peace] REMINDER - Wal-Mart picket TODAY at 3pm

[Ricky Baldwin]

WAKE UP WALMART

Join us on an 
Informational Picket Line
January 31
3-4:30 pm

in front of the new Urbana Wal-Mart on Tatman Court 
(the Post Office side) 
It's their Grand Opening.
 
The purpose of this picket line is to tell people why
Wal-Mart needs to change.
 
Ø      Wages below the poverty line force employees to
rely on government programs. Wal-Mart pays $1-$2 less
per hour than other superstores 
 
Ø      Wal-Mart's health care benefits are so poor,
employees are advised by managers to seek medical
public assistance. 
 
Ø      Wal-Mart is the subject of the largest gender
discrimination lawsuit in the history of America.
 
Ø      Wal-Mart violates child labor laws, immigration
laws and forces unpaid over time work.
 
Ø      Our taxes subsidize Wal-Mart through city
government subsidies, public housing assistance and
welfare for employees, full and part- time
 
Ø      Wal-Mart has its own "plantation factories"
overseas that produce most of its goods.
