Consumer Journalism - - - - Walmart in the news - - - -again

While drinking my morning coffee I came across this piece.  It spoke to me of what we are trying to accomplish with this CJ project.  Wal-mart (or other work) conditions would be an interesting topic.

I worked at Wal-mart, long ago.  I have heard stories in recent months from friends who have or are working there.  All companies have issues, many similar, but alot of the stories from Wal-mart employees are just examples of very poor management.

This is not a personal attack on Wal-mart, I did think it spoke well to our coursework and a content area for students.  It is also important for students to apply their Critical Thinking skills, because expressed thoughts, ideas, and opinions have consequences and if they do not maintain due diligence and document their information they can suffer from the consequences.
