Most of what I know about WalMart's corporate business practices comes from the SLA (Students for Leftist Action) on my campus, and it has to do with sweatshop labour practices overseas. For example, new female employees must undergo and pay for a pregnancy test before starting work. If they are found to be pregnant, they're fired. Based on the way they treat their labourors overseas, I'm not at all surprised to hear the way they treat their employees here.
