Wal-Mart Campaign Seeks to Counter Critics
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Chief Executive Lee Scott went on the offensive against critics of its employment policies and the effect its stores have on communities.
The company took out more than 100 full-page newspaper ads across the country, outlining the wages and benefits it pays its employees and the good the Bentonville, Ark.-based company says it brings to communities.
Wal-Mart has been the target of lawsuits accusing the company of bias against women and not paying employees for all the hours they worked.
Shares of Wal-Mart fell 44 cents to $53.64 on the New York Stock Exchange.
