Wal-Mart is doing domestic spying?
Dear Stephen, Just like President Bush approved a secret program to eavesdrop on Americans, Wal-Mart has hired a group of former CIA, FBI and Justice Department officials to spy on its employees and maybe others.

The Wal-Mart spy team, which Wal-Mart refers to as the Threat, Research and Analysis group, was using highly sophisticated counter-surveillance technology to eavesdrop on employees’ phone calls, intercept text messages, and, according to a recent lawsuit, spy on an employee while he was traveling abroad. One of Wal-Mart’s technicians even went so far as to record the conversations of a New York Times reporter.
Wal-Mart’s big brother tactics and invasion of privacy are eerily similar to last year’s Hewlett Packard scandal which drew Congressional review and resulted in high-level resignations and prosecution.
The Wal-Mart spy scandal, on top of recent attempts by Wal-Mart to smear several former high-profile executives, raises some serious questions about the extent to which corporations should be allowed to conduct surveillance on their employees.

While we still don’t know the full extent of Wal-Mart’s spy program and whether or not anything illegal was done, we do know that Wal-Mart was eavesdropping in order to identify the source of documents that were given to our campaign which exposed Wal-Mart’s negative business practices.
These documents and the many courageous Wal-Mart employees who have spoken out have helped us tell the American people the truth about Wal-Mart’s anti-family agenda which has hurt its employees, our communities and our country.
As a nation, we would hope companies like Wal-Mart would reflect the best of American values, instead of implementing eavesdropping programs, designed by former CIA and FBI officials, to spy on their employees.

From the Wal-Mart spy scandal, to stopping the ‘Wal-Mart Bank,’ to forcing Wal-Mart to give up on its plans to enter New York City, to having Wal-Mart’s public relations’ operation be exposed as a sham, our campaign to change Wal-Mart is in high gear.
Now, more than ever, we need your help, because, only by joining together, can we change Wal-Mart and change America for the better.
Thank you for all that you do,
Paul Blank
