UFCW President Joe Hansen and AFT President Randi Weingarten are weighing in on the disastrous effect of the Walmart-ization of our countrys classrooms: The Walton familys actions in the education realm are very familiar to those of us who know how the company does business. All too often, Wal-Mart fails to consult the communities it enters, drives out existing institutions and leaves those most vulnerable wondering how theyll bridge the gap. Wal-Mart is a highly profitable corporation, reporting between $16 billion and $17 billion a year in profits. Just six members of the Walton family--the majority owners of the company--have more wealth than 42 percent of American families combined. Yet the majority of Wal-Mart workers are paid less than $25,000 a year. huffingtonpost/randi-weingarten/the-wal-mart-ization-of-e_b_5760654.html
