Wal-Mart Calls on Videomaker to Fix Errors in Trailer or Take it Down
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. today called on Robert Greenwald to correct the factual errors and misrepresentations in the trailer for his video: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. Mr. Greenwald’s missteps include claiming Wal-Mart forced the closure of a Middlefield, Ohio hardware store, when, in fact, the store closed before Wal-Mart opened its doors...The fact is that Wal-Mart is considered one of the most diverse employers in America and was recently named by Black Enterprise magazine as one of the “30 Best Companies for Diversity.” In addition, more than 40% of Wal-Mart managers are women...the average wage for full-time hourly Wal-Mart associates in the Chicago area is $10.69 – more than $4 above the Illinois minimum wage of $6.50 and $1 above the $9.68 living wage recently established in Chicago.
