I am contacting you on behalf of Wal-Mart Watch to inform you of a new product safety initiative currently being addressed by the Wal-Mart activist community in Consumer Testing. Product recalls have been a constant problem affecting employees and consumers.
In fact, only a few days ago Wal-Mart has been found selling wooden play-sets with defective equipment, endangering the lives of children around the country according to Consumer Reports.
Wal-Mart has consistently been among the leading culprits in selling recalled and potentially fatal products to the general public.This has been the result of their manipulative efforts to undermine quality product testing.
We are calling for Wal-Mart to have an established independent testing organization inspect products properly before put on the store shelves.
To help us take action and highlight the danger that Wal-Mart presents to small towns nationwide we are asking people to link to our new page http://www.consumertesting.org.
There has never been a more important time to join WakeUpWalMart.com, the movement to change Wal-Mart and build a better America.
A shocking new report just revealed that Wal-Mart’s health care spending per employee has actually gone down, and the number of Wal-Mart workers without company health care has risen to a whopping 775,000 workers or 57% of the company. The “Wal-Mart Health Care Crisis” cost American taxpayers nearly $1.4 billion in 2005 with a projected cost over the next five years of $9.1 billion.
Wal-Mart’s alarmingly bad health care numbers prove more than ever how important it is to build public pressure to change this corporation. We need your help now.
Please join me and over 183,000 supporters all across America by becoming a part of the WakeUpWalMart.com movement:
Wal-Mart is America’s largest employer, with 1.3 million employees and over $11 billion in profit. Yet, Wal-Mart pays poverty level wages, leaves 775,000 of its workers without company health care, faces the largest gender discrimination lawsuit in the country affecting 2 million female workers, shuts down small businesses and helps ship our jobs overseas.
The fight to change Wal-Mart is a fight for what kind of America we want to live in. In our America, people come first. Multi-billion dollar corporations shouldn’t be able to hide behind their special interest lobbyists and billion dollar ad campaigns.
Wal-Mart must answer to the American people.
That is why we are building the largest grassroots campaign to change a corporation in history. By changing Wal-Mart, we improve people’s lives, help our community and build a better America.
