The high cost of low price

 

Her er en film, som jeg synes, alle beslutningstagere, der (lokalplan eller ej) gerne vil have kæmpemæssige Føtex'er og Bilkaer til deres lokalområde, skulle se:
Everyone has seen Wal-Mart's lavish television commercials, but have you ever wondered why Wal-Mart spends so much money convincing you it cares about your family, your community, and even its own employees? What is it hiding?

WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers and their families, business owners and their communities, in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel...and shop.

WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price is the new film from Robert Greenwald, the award-winning producer of over 60 films and the director of the hit documentaries Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism and Uncovered: The Whole Truth About The Iraq War. With Outfoxed Greenwald took on the most powerful media company in the world; now with WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price he takes on the most powerful company in the world, period.
Wal-Mart er blandt andet kommet så langt, som de er, ved at forbyde deres ansatte at organisere sig og betale dem en absolut sulteløn.

Og det giver også god mening: Hvis varerne kan fås så utroligt billigt, som de kan i mange af disse stormagasiner, må nogle andre have betalt for det. Hvor meget ville vi selv stå model til herhjemme, blot for at få billige varer?
