Wal-Mart Facts
In 2003, Wal-Mart

to a report by the minority staff of the U.S. House of
Representatives Education and Workforce Committee. The report
estimates that 50 to 60 percent of Wal-Mart’s products come from

Buffenbarger Slams Outsourcing as ‘Economic Terrorism’
IP Tom Buffenbarger called the
practice of outsourcing U.S. jobs to cheap labor markets nothing
more than “economic terrorism”
“We have to do something
substantial and meaningful with the trade agreements to keep jobs
in America,” said Buffenbarger on CNN’s
Lou Dobbs Tonight. “The fact is we have to go back and
change those agreements.”
“If that means we have to
stake a position, put down a marker that says jobs belong here and
your job belongs here, then we should do it and not be afraid
to say it,” declared Buffenbarger.
“The most valuable thing any
American worker has is their job,” said Buffenbarger, who cited a
new study that predicted that 400,000 jobs will be lost due to
outsourcing this year.|
