Rolling back wages and passing the savings on to you, the consumer

Since Guelph has long debated allowing a Wal-Mart in the city (I think we're getting one now), I've been following the class action discrimination suits against the company in America pretty avidly. This article is both a good summation of what's been going on so far and a pretty probing look in the actual issues surrounding it all. It's pretty damning but never hysterical nor does it lapse into ad hominem attacks like a lot of talk about Wal-Mart (on either side).

You could say the title of this post is an example of that, but I'm just being snarky.
