LISSA’S: Wal-Mart ~ Do as we say, Not as we do.

March is National Women’s History Month - and there’s no denying that Wal-Mart has had an enormous impact on women.

In front of the camera and in the public eye , Wal-Mart claims it is "committed to empowering all women." But behind closed doors, Wal-Mart sends its employees a very different message.

Take a look at this "behind closed doors" footage of Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott at a 1995 Wal-Mart logistics meeting:



Having seen the video, it should come as no surprise that Wal-Mart is the subject of the largest class-action lawsuit in America’s history: Dukes v. Wal-Mart. Over 1.6 million women are suing Wal-Mart for business practices that deny them equal job assignments, promotions, training and compensation. Wal-Mart might suggest that the performances featured in the footage from this 1995 meeting were intended to be funny, but discriminating against women is no joking matter.

As the largest corporation in the world, Wal-Mart should set the right example and treat all employees with respect. Unfortunately, it looks like the company still has a long, long way to go.
