Wal-Mart: Always High Costs. Always.
Think you just got a bargain on those rolled back prices? Think again. You may have just helped break unions and dismantle public schools.
Wal-Mart will stop at nothing to prevent its employees from organizing, even closing down the one Wal-Mart store where employees voted to form a union.

The NEA Executive Committee has endorsed a national effort called "Wake-Up Wal-Mart" that educates the public about the impact of Wal-Mart on its employees, their communities, and our schools. As Back to School approaches, there’s a campaign to encourage shoppers to buy school supplies from other stores in their communities. Read more about the Back to School campaign.
