This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Always Low Wages!

Wal-Mart Faces Class-Action Suit:

"In the suit, Wal-Mart and its contractors are also accused of failing to make required workers' compensation and Social Security payments and failing to withhold federal payroll taxes. Wal-Mart and its contractors are also accused of mail fraud, wire fraud, bringing in and harboring illegal immigrants and engaging in a 'pattern of racketeering activity' to prevent officials from enforcing wage and immigration laws."


Sorry about the title, the runner up was "In Hot Walton".

I'm sitting here trying to think of things to say about this, but my only thought is; "This shouldn't suprise anyone". Predictable Consequences.

Companies use contractors as a way of avoiding responsibility. They contract out their business, put pressure on the contractor to meet unreasonable demands, then plead ignorance when that contractor is caught breaking the law. Wal-Mart will no doubt use the innocent angel defense.
