Wal-Mart Rates "Don't Buy" From HRC

My friends already know I won't shop at Sam's or Wal-Mart because of their policies toward labor and their promotion of offshore manufacturing. Now I have another reason to avoid the big box behemoth. The HRC gave Wal-Mart a "red" rating or "do not buy" due to their refusal to provide domestic partner benefits for their employees.

Target, my favorite discounter, rated an 80 on the same scale or a "green" rating from HRC. I always knew there was a reason besides the clean stores, stylish merchandise and great advertising that I liked Target.
