Wal-Mart Watch, the union-backed anti-Wal-Mart group that wasted about $150,000 in dues money to place a full-page ad in the New York Times last week, proved that it wasn't acting in good faith when proposing a "good faith" offer to the retail king in that same pricey ad.
The ad, available in PDF format here, used various statements made by Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton as possible bridgeheads for Wal-Mart Watch and the retailer to establish dialogue.
So far so good. But Marshall Manson of Edelman PR late last week e-mailed me that he captured a screen shot of an ad with the "Handshake ad" next to a Battle-Mart ad.
The Battle-Mart is a Wal-Mart Watch war plan site (Hey, I'm not overreaching with my metaphor, they call it "Battle-Mart"), instructing people on various methods to keep Wal-Mart out of communities.
So I have no faith in Wal-Mart Watch's "good faith" efforts--they're hypocrites.
Wal-Mart, for those who are unfamiliar the firm, owns stores that sell stuff pretty cheap.
