New Website- WalmartWatch.com

[chlamor]

Here's from their "about" page:

WalmartWatch.com is a project of the Center for Community & Corporate Ethics, and its 501c-4 organization, Fives Stones, Inc. In case the name's derivation isn't obvious, David fought Goliath with five stones.

As the largest private employer in the United States, the largest retailer, the largest importer of products from abroad, Wal-Mart is indeed a giant. Its dominance allows it to set standards for the retail sector as a whole, and increasingly to dictate standards to manufacturers abroad. The goal of WalmartWatch.com goal isn't to slay the giant, however. It is to build alliances with the many sectors adversely affected by Wal-Mart's irresponsible business practices and utter disregard for the consequences and costs of "Always Low Prices." It's to challenge Wal-Mart to become a responsible corporate citizen -- paying decent wages and providing decent benefits to its workers; respectful of the rights and needs of the communities it serves; accountable for the conditions under which its products are produced at home and abroad.

WalmartWatch.com is here to serve the broad spectrum of organizations and individuals that need high-quality research and communication tools to mount this challenge. We will help connect you to one another, provide information on what's worked and what hasn't, keep you up-to-date on the most important local, state and national developments, provide opportunities for collective action and solicit your input into what's needed to fight the fight.



Our Goals
By serving as a virtual meeting place, research hub and strategic "war room" for the growing Wal-Mart reform effort, WalmartWatch.com will:
1. Catalyze disparate opposition into coordinated action (online and off);
2. Facilitate communication and cooperation between existing reform efforts;
3. Increase and share knowledge and expertise about Wal-Mart;
4. Create a common language and demand set thru an aggressive PR campaign;
5. Develop and promote new strategies, policies and legislative strategies.
