Coverage of the Mother's Day event
From today's Arkansas Democrat Gazette:
A coalition of Wal-Mart critics alleged Tuesday that the retailer treats women employees as secondclass citizens and urged Americans to buy their Mother’s Day gifts somewhere else. "When it comes to treatment of its women employees, Wal-Mart’s low prices come at a cost," said Rep. Rosa De Lauro, D-Conn.
Rep. George Miller of California, a fervent Wal-Mart critic, said, "None of us here wants to see Wal-Mart fail as a company. On the contrary, what we want to see is Wal-Mart succeed responsibly — with employees who are fairly compensated, without accelerating the flow of U.S. jobs overseas, and with a respect for the law and workers."Added beauty-queen Sapp, "They have intelligent, passionate women who want to succeed ... but what they’re saying is [that the women] are not good enough, smart enough or worthy to demand that wage."
