Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005)
Wal-Mart is de grootste werkgever van de VS. Het bedrijf breidt zich snel uit in andere werelddelen. Het is berucht om zijn lage lonen en slechte arbeidsomstandigheden. Het bedrijf helpt de overheden met het verlagen van de werkloosheidscijfers: mensen die banen verliezen met redelijke lonen en arbeidsvoorwaarden worden gedwongen om een zogeheten Wal-Martbaan te aanvaarden. Zij komen terecht onder de armoedegrens, zonder behoorlijke verzekeringen, maar in de statistieken tellen zij niet meer mee als werklozen. Deze strategie bedreigt ook Europa. Met persoonlijke verhalen wordt een beeld geschetst hoe Wal-Mart met zijn personeel omgaat.
