KEEP WAL-MART OUT OF NYC:
For those who need yet MORE reason to keep Wal-Mart out of NYC, here is some recent news from California: California Wal-Mart Workers Win Settlement Over Wage Violations...is THIS what NYC needs? I say no!
Bloomerg wants to help Wal-Mart open up in NYC even though Wal-Mart has been shown to deliberately destroy small businesses, use illegal immigrant labor paying them slave wages, and treating their workers badly.
I don't mind big chain stores. I like IKEA and CostCo and Trader Joe's in particular. But Wal-Mart has been shown to be bad for communities they open up in.
Wal-Mart has a gender discrimination suit against them still active: Meet the Woman Behind the Walmart Gender Discrimination Suit

HELP STOP WAL-MART AND BLOOMBERG FROM RUINING NYC
Go here to find out more. Bloomberg is a lost cause, but write NYC Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Comptroller John Liu and tell them to stop Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and Bloomberg are anti-union, anti-small business and anti-community. Let's get our Public Advocate and Comptroller fighting for us!
