Wal-mart - High Cost of Low Prices
http://video.google.com/vi
What are the low prices of Walmart costing not only America, but the entire world? Uploaded for Ms. Tanner's classes.. Apr 21, 2006.
To sum up what I saw in this video... people working for pennies a day, given lectures on how to lie to health inspectors, working in slave conditions, treated with racism and sexism but nothing is done when they speak up and the worlds biggest company (and still growing) convincing their workers to apply for government assistance such as Medicaid, WIC etc... to make up for them not receiving benefits through Wal-Mart. The prices are cheap but what is that costing?
As a Christian... flip to the last 25 minutes of the video... we represent loving one another and respect but definitely NOT taking advantage of the poor and helpless in order to get a product at the lowest price. Stop going to Wal-Mart, start sharing your compassion.
