David & Goliath: The People & Walmart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiNwIK9t1Lw&feature=player_embedded&ytsession=rpFduG5sOJ570DcRXYtT8IZD1UnTrgWxeo25VaLOw4MB6h93t9hv-bANHDZrqWR0q_W5NdXZU9V3TOtmrhtc6XSScEabo9XaT2kNg_MqfA_mOxer6zFaX1uffQv6wdLI_nJ7D4R1t7aYQGozH-Y4VIL5lO7GC0eyzk2DEMzLawah7o-gHrjdvsqERwLiKWkYBuhbGTI7PFw8gOM0XTi0ZJ5D4pnJNLAh9ERE09VwCoY

This video is just the tip of the iceberg.
  It describes the horrible working conditions
  of people who work for Walmart, and
  the abusive treatment they endure every day.

When you watch this video, I encourage you -
  don't see the color of their skin or their language
  or the country in which they live.

Focusing on our differences is divisive,
  hurtful to all of us, and worse -
  it gives today's robber barons more power
  to continue stealing from us and
  mutilating our economies and societies.

Please - just focus on what these people -
  our brothers and sisters -
  are sharing about their experience.

And, if you are stirred by their stories,
  take action - sign the letter,
  stop shopping at Walmart,
  tell others,
  learn more about the insidious and deceitful strategies
  Walmart uses to make a profit off of all of us.

There is another video from which you can learn even more.
  It's called, 'Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices'.

We are David.
  Monoliths like Walmart are Goliath.
  All of us who know this story
  know that David defeated Goliath.

However, none of us has the money or power
  to fight these marauding giants alone.

We must stand together.
  In our union, we are strong.
  Standing hand in hand, we can win this war
  of the 1% against the rest of us.
