Wal-Mart gets religion
Christian Century, August 8, 2006
WAL-MART GETS RELIGION: In an apparent attempt to improve its image, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has hired a former nun to advise the company on issues of the environment, health care and labor relations, according to the Washington Post (July 18). Harriet Hentges, who once belonged to the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Carondelet and has served as a conflict mediator, has been named to the new position of senior director of stakeholder engagement. Hiring Hentges is one move in a series of publicity stunts, said a spokesperson for Wake Up Wal-Mart, a group critical of Wal-Mart's labor practices. The group said that Wal-Mart "must become a better company that pays a living wage, provides affordable health care and reflects the best of American values."
