IF THEY JUST STARTED DOING THE RIGHT THING bloger's wouldn't be necessary. <BR/>Just SUPPOSE Wal-Mart began: <BR/>1) paying their employees a living wage 2) giving them ALL health coverage 3) stoped squeezing their suppliers for lower wholesale prices every year forcing them to go overseas for production 4) began to work with communities so business districts were not left with no place else to shop except Wal-Mart and 5) started contributing to the communities they're in rather than bleed them dry. <BR/>JUST SUPPOSE WAL-MART DID THOSE THESE THINGS AND MORE? Well, surprise, surprise, surprise!! They wouldn't need Edelman, any PR nor any blogers to improve their image!! Simple word of mouth would get around about how Wal-Mart is now this great company. Communities would be breaking down Wal-Mart's door to come instead of fighting them off. Currently, 1 out every 3 communities that is supposed to get a Wal-Mart is fighting it. Groups in opposition to them are springing up EVERYWHERE! This is why Wal-Mart doesn't announce their arrival into an area. They know the minute they do that, a group opposing them is going to be formed. <BR/>Wouldn't their money BE BETTER SPENT SIMPLY DOING THE RIGHT THING?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
