Subject: RE: BS: Walmart: Union-Busting SOP
From Walmart's own policies:

5. BUY AMERICAN COMMITMENT

    Wal-Mart has a strong commitment to buy as much merchandise made in the United States as feasible. Vendor Partners are encouraged to buy as many materials and components from United States sources as possible and communicate this information to Wal-Mart. Further, Vendor Partners are encouraged to establish U.S. manufacturing operations.


Nearly everything I've ever seen at a Walmart has a "Made in China" label on it. Seems they were smart to include the caveat, "as feasible" in the above. What irks me is they are a big enough company that they could have a strong and real effect on changing this, as robomatic has pointed out they've done to the Amercican economy.
