 Members and staff from UFCW Local 400 and sister local 1994 leafleted the Germantown, Maryland Wal-Mart on Thursday, October 18. The informational leaflet highlighted the fact that over 70% of the goods sold at Wal-Mart are made in China. The leaflets contained a long list of recalled China made products that Wal-Mart has pulled from its shelves. UFCW members asked customers to consider the safety of the goods they purchase (lead-laced toys, tainted snacks, poisonous pet food) and whether Wal-Mart's cosy relationship with China is in the best interest of the American families.
From Wake Up Wal-Mart: TV Advertisement: Wal-Mart & China (links to outside website) There are two visions for America: Wal-Mart's America, where profits come before people, and our vision, where people come first. In Wal-Mart's America, wealthy corporations just want to make more money - at any cost. In our America, corporations embrace their responsibility to do right by their customers, their workers, and the American people.
