Wall-E vs. Wal-Mart

February 10, 2009 By wake-up-wal-mart

But perhaps most ominously, Wal-Mart is even getting involved in elections.  During the 2008 election, management pulled employees into meetings to urge them not to vote for Obama because — gasp! — he would fight for worker’s rights.

The similarity between the Bentonville behemoth and the Buy-N-Large behemoth is funny, but it’s scary, too.  It’s why I’m doing work with Wake Up Wal-Mart.

Consider Wake Up Wal-Mart as Wall-E.  I know that analogy doesn’t really work — but both WUWM and Wall-E fight/are fighting the behemoth to restore environmental vitality and quality of life back to America.  I urge you to join the fight!
