FACT: Today, the country's largest employer is Wal-Mart. In 2000, Wal-Mart's assets totaled more than the GDP of 155 of the 192 countries in the world, with annual sales of more than 137.6 billion. The Walton family is worth about $102 billion. Yet they produce more goods in sweatshops than any company in the world.
FACT: The National Labor Committee reports, "In country after country, factories that produce for Wal-Mart are the worst." Some of the abuses in foreign factories that produce goods for Wal-Mart include: forced overtime, locked bathrooms, starvation wages, and forced pregnancy tests.
