We all know that Wal*Mart is dubbed as being "evil" by many people out there because of the disturbing mistreatment of outsourced employees around the world. Wal*Mart is notorious for outsourcing jobs all the way to China, Ecuador, and etc. (all being third-world countries with high poverty rates). Wal*Mart hires people there to work for incredibly low wages (usu. US$1.00 per article of clothing made, up to hourly wages of usu. US$1.00 - $4.50.). This disturbing trend has many concerned of not only the mistreatment of the hired employees due to poor working conditions and under-the-table wages, but of the potential (and execution) of extreme global monopolization.
I know about Wal*Mart and its "evil" thirst for power and money... but I've also heard about other retailers... from Target to JC Penney. I'm looking for a list of "evil" retailers (with sources, preferrably) and the behaviors they initiated which characterized such names attributed to them. Can anyone help me? Thanks. :-)
