WAL<br />

AL-MART<br />

descumpre as leis trabalhistas no Brasil<br />

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was<br />

recently voted by Fortune Magazine<br />

as one of the best companies to<br />

work for in the USA and the fifth<br />

most admired global corporation. If<br />

the magazine had interviewed the<br />

workers in the Brazilian<br />

subsidiary, the results would have<br />

been different.<br />

In Brazil, the biggest retail<br />

company in the world is<br />

characterized by the disrespect to its<br />

employees. It does not enforce the<br />

labor legislation, it is negligent<br />

with health and safety and tolerates<br />

the abuse of power. The Social<br />

Observatory research reinforced the<br />

struggle of the unions which held<br />

in 2001 the first national<br />

conference of Wal-Mart workers.<br />

Recentemente a Wal-Mart Stores Inc.<br />

foi apontada pela revista Fortune como<br />

uma das cem melhores empresas para<br />

se trabalhar nos EUA e a quinta mais<br />

admirada entre as corporações globais.<br />

Se a publicação tivesse entrevistado os<br />

trabalhadores da subsidiária brasileira os<br />

resultados seriam distintos. No Brasil a<br />

maior empresa varejista do mundo se<br />

caracteriza pelo desrespeito aos<br />

empregados. Descumpre a legislação<br />

trabalhista, é negligente com a saúde e<br />

segurança, tolera abusos de poder. A<br />

pesquisa do Observatório Social reforçou<br />

a luta dos sindicatos, que realizaram em<br />

2001 o primeiro Encontro de<br />

Trabalhadores Wal-Mart do Brasil.<br />

Qualificando a<br />

ação sindical<br />
