Well, Walmart is the classic one, but for example I think call centers in general qualify, and that's what we see a lot of here. It's a stressful, difficult job, there is generally no path to promotion, they don't pay a living wage and usually they duck out of town once the tax incentives run out...if there are benefits, it's usually after a year and they make a practice of firing people for some reason after 360 days. That's an amalgam of impressions and I don't want to get into hand-to-hand fighting over the personnel practices of particular companies, but that's what the pattern looks like down here and taken as a whole, it looks pretty abusive to me.... Walmart, well, they hire a lot of retirees and they may have cleaned up their act where women are concerned, not sure. Dana
