Wal-Mart in Mexico and Unionizing Wal-Mart

The March 2005 Progressive essay, Teoti-Wal-Mart by John Ross describes the battle against the "global Leviathan" at the Pyramid of the Sun in San Juan Teotihuacan. Wade Rathke has spoken of the need to take the gloves off in dealing with Wal-Mart vis-a-vis organizing (see latest issue of New Labor Forum ).

Let's not forget Wal-Mart's Banning of books.
