Wal-Mart Gets Gifty in Tabasco

Wal-mart.jpgWal-Mart Stores already went bilingual, probably so they could better speak to the undocumented workers they hire and pay slave wages to, or maybe to better communicate with Mexican protesters. So today’s announcement that the company gave a $600,000 grant to World Vision to aid economic recovery in the flooded Tabasco-Chiapas region of Mexico is just the big box store being more responsive to Latinos.

“We have a very long history of providing support to the communities we serve when they need it most,” said Margaret McKenna, President of the Wal-Mart Foundation. “The work our fellow associates at Wal-Mart de Mexico have already been doing is a great example of this, and we’re proud to be playing our part, aiding in the economic recovery process.”

this is such a great example of corporate philanthropy as publicity. 600,000 dollars is nothing to Wal-Mart- and an absurd amount considering the extent of the disaster.

Oh my! I think they broke the bank with that donation. Totally agree with Cat. HP is totally going to get on me if he reads this.
