But I don't expect Wal-Mart to end up in court anytime soon over anti-trust laws. Reagan watered down the laws too much. Add to that the lobbyists Wal-Mart has in Washington. It is my understanding Wal-Mart lobbyists have their own offices in Washington D.C. While we may wait a long time for teeth fo apprear once again in anti-trust laws, we will not wait long for something else.<BR/>Eventually Wal-Mart will EXPLODE FROM THE INSIDE ALL ON ITS OWN. And it is already happening. <BR/>According to Al Norman,29% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Wal-Mart. But how did Americans come to feel that way?<BR/>Perhaps it is because last year a California jury ordered Wal-Mart stores to pay $172 million in damages for failing to provide meal breaks for nearly 116,000 hourly workers as required by law. Maybe it's because of a similar lunch break class action in Philadelphia, Pa. Philadelphia's class action was Hummel vs Wal-Mart Stores. The California case involved roughly 116,000 workers. But the Philadephia case could involve as many as 150,000. In the Philadephia case if each plaintiff got $1,000 Wal-Mart's liability would be $150 million. <BR/>And what about ALL the former and current female workers who have a discrimination suit against them? I haven't kept up on that one, but I understand it is the biggest civil suit in history. And there are tons of other cases against this huge corporation. These are only a few. They get sued 2-5 times every single day.<BR/>So is Wal-mart going to explode from the inside? It is already beginning to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
