Dear Working Families e-Activist,
As the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart is setting the
standard for America's workplaces--and it's a standard of low
wages, poor benefits and worker abuse. Learn more about the
Wal-Mart way of doing business and how this one retail giant is
changing the American economy in the PBS Frontline documentary
"Is Wal-Mart Good for America?"

In "Is Wal-Mart Good for America?", correspondent Hedrick Smith
examines Wal-Mart as a global force changing the balance of
power in the business world--and leaving workers behind. You'll
hear from an IBEW member who worked at television manufacturer
Thomson Industries and see Rubbermaid's equipment auctioned off
to Chinese buyers, illustrating what many consider Wal-Mart's
strong-arm tactics on suppliers to lower prices that have driven
jobs from once-solid American companies to low-wage operations
overseas.
You must see this show before you shop.
Think about hosting a "watch party" at your home, union hall or
community center so you and friends or co-workers can get
together to watch "Is Wal-Mart Good for America?" and talk about
what shoppers looking for bargains really buy at Wal-Mart: low
wages, poor benefits, discrimination, workers' rights violations
and union-busting. Click on the link below to order the
documentary now:
