Alert: Send a Lump of Coal to the "Sweatshop Retailer of the Year" Maquila
Solidarity Network
December 9, 2003 Today the Maquila Solidarity Network
(MSN) declared Wal-Mart the winner of the fourth annual "Sweatshop Retailer
of the Year" award. Based on its performance in 2003, Wal-Mart was unbeatable
for this year's prize. No other retailer was even in the running. As a result,
MSN has been forced to cancel this year's on-line vote for Sweatshop Retailer
of the Year, declaring "no contest." Instead of going through
the motions of counting votes and then once again declaring Wal-Mart the overwhelming
winner, this year, MSN is inviting consumers, workers and citizens around the
world to send a clear holiday message to Wal-Mart - stop mistreating the workers
who make and sell your products. We are asking you to send that message
to Wal-Mart by adding a lump of coal to the company's holiday stocking. Click
