LISSA’S: Wal-Mart's making profits off of dead employees.

When a Wal-Mart employee, Karen Armatrout, died in 1997, Wal-Mart collected thousands of dollars on a life insurance policy the retail giant had taken out without telling her, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court. Armatrout was one of about 350,000 employees Wal-Mart secretly insured nationwide, said Texas attorney Michael D. Myers, who estimated the company collected on 75 to 100 policies involving Florida employees who died.
