Fed Up with Wal-Mart

Inglewood, California residents will vote today on the fate of a proposed Wal-Mart in their city.

Wal-Mart is attempting to bypass environmental, urban development and zoning laws in order to build in Inglewood. Residents are not buying their sales pitch.

Wal-Mart will not allow its workers to unionize. They are able to offer their shoppers rock-bottom prices because they don't pay their store employees a living wage. How can anyone live off of the average $6.10 an hour Wal-Mart pays its "sales associates" (or, $12,688 per year if they are permitted to work full-time)?
