Everybody's favourite...

Corporate villain-du-jour... takes another very public shitkicking...
Retail giant Wal-Mart's decision to expand into round-the-clock shopping does not bode well for workers and their families, a labour leader says.

Marie St. Aubin, a national representative with the Canadian Auto Workers union, which represents workers at Dominion supermarkets in Newfoundland and Labrador, said Wal-Mart's move may force other major retailers to follow suit.
How is it, that all kinds of manufacturing and service industries can stay open round the clock... but when Walmart does it... everybody loses their mind?

Just another extension of the sociaist "special laws for special people" principle.

Apparently some animals ARE more equal than others.
