<br/><br/> "When Wal-Mart Stores Inc. demands a lower price for the shirts and shorts it sells by the millions, the consequences are felt in a remote Chinese industrial town, at a port in Bangladesh and here in Honduras, under the corrugated metal roof of the Cosmos clothing factory." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article discusses how Wal-Mart's "size and obsession with shaving costs have made it a global economic force" whose "decisions affect wages, working conditions and manufacturing practices--even the price of a yard of denim--around the world."
