Wal-Mart has many law issues around the world. some of them will be detailed
next:
Wal-Mart Stores pleaded guilty in May 2013 to improperly dumping hazardous
waste in California and Missouri, agreeing to pay almost $82 million in fines. The
problems stem from incidents beginning in 2003. At the time, Wal-Mart workers
tossed products, like bleach and fertilizer, into the trash or the local sewer system,
rather than dealing with them as hazardous waste, according to authorities.1
After failing to reach an agreement that would avoid litigation, the federal labor
board issued a complaint against Wal-Mart on Wednesday, formally accusing the
world's largest retailer of breaking labor law during Black Friday strikes by its store
workers.2
Walmart is also facing problems in Mexico and the United States for a case of
bribery that occurred during the construction of more than 2000 stores around
Mexico. Among some of the findings: Former executives for the company
orchestrated a campaign of bribery to obtain construction permits and build stores
more quickly during the past decade, a paper trail of bribery documenting
payments of more than $24 million, and top executives of the company seemed to
shut down an internal investigation until recently.3
The fatal car crash involving a Wal-Mart Truck, and the bus were Tracy Morgan and
fellow comedian McNair, leaving Tracy severely injured and causing McNair to die
in site. Apparently, the preliminary investigation showed that Roper was driving
the Wal-Mart truck at a speed of 65 mph when he crashed into the limo bus of the
comedians. The speed limit on that specific street is only 55 mph, which was even
reduced to 45 mph that time due to an ongoing construction on site.4
Customers are also complaining about false advertising in Wal Mart's web page
alleging that the store is advertising products in one way and selling others.5
