We don't want to destroy Wal-Mart. We want to change it, to make it a decent, humane company, which it could easily do. We're not going to rest or sleep one bit until that happens.
More consumers don't just see Wal-Mart as a business, they see it is a social and political issue. Until Wal-Mart changes substantially, those consumers they are going after, who can make a choice about where they shop, will avoid Wal-Mart.
None of the changes address the key point that a 'Wal-Mart bank' would result in a dangerous concentration of economic power which is bad for consumers, small business, and our nation's economy.
Stuck in the midst of a public relations quagmire that no other company faces, Wal-Mart realizes that it must change its faltering public image to ensure its future success.
Wal-Mart's future in 2006 will not look any brighter unless Lee Scott realizes that Wal-Mart must change into a more responsible employer.
