Wal-Mart tries to improve public image through its employees
I recently visited the Workplace Prof Blog and found the blog entry, The Empire Strikes Back: Wal-Mart Reaches Out to Its Workers, which comments on the article Wal-Mart Defends Itself, This Time to Its Workers. The revelation of Wal-Mart's treatment of its employees has brought it under fire from politicians, activists, media and former employees. And what is Wal-Mart's response?
Blame the politicians. "We think elected officials should spend their time on real solutions to real challenges." says Dan Fogleman, a Wal-Mart spokesperson. Since when is unfair labor policies and wages not a real issue?
