Teachers' Unions Join Food Workers in Boycott Against Wal-Mart

The nation's two largest teachers' unions announced last week they would join the United Food and Commercial Workers in boycotting Wal-Mart, whose low wages, poor health benefits and violation of child labor laws have drawn fire in recent months and contributed to a declining image of the world's largest retailer.  The "Wake-Up Wal-Mart" movement hopes to persuade people to shop elsewhere for back-to-school supplies, the retailer's biggest season other than Christmas.
