7 October 1999:
WAL-MARTyrs (USA) -- click here.
Retailing superpower Wal-Mart has managed to get a court injunction from its home state of Arkansas to block union organizing efforts. But the union has put the banned leaflet on the web -- and much more as well. This site has videos, forums for workers to talk with each other, and tons of information for the 780,000 employees of this notoriously anti-union company. It also has links to sites with delightful names like walmartsucks.com. Except for the frames -- and frames suck too -- this is a superb site.
