It Presents Evidence To Make Its Case That Wal-Mart: * Forces Its Own Workers To Labor "Off The Clock" Without Pay * Uses Overseas Sweatshop Labor To Manufacture Its Corporate Brand Clothing * Sells Knock-Off And Counterfeit Merchandise That Misleads And Confuses Its Customers * Destroys Acres Of Environmentally Sensitive Lands To Build New Wal-Marts, Close To Existing Wal-Marts That Will Be Closed * Has Eliminated All Competition In Many Towns Across The U.S. By Illegally Lowering Prices Below Wholesale * Has Forced The Movement Of Thousands Of Manufacturing Jobs Out Of The U.S. * Calls "Full-Time" 28 Hours Per Week And Pays Wages So Low That Many Of Its Employees Qualify - And Accept - Welfare Payments * Demands Millions Of Dollars In Tax Breaks To Locate In Communities All Over The U.S., While It Earns Billions Of Dollars In Profits.
