Wal-Mart: Are You A Member Of The Communist Party? (WMT)

It is not enough that Chinese unions set up shop at Wal-Mart stores in the Asian country. Now the Communist Party has set up a branch for Wal-Mart employess.

It is hard to say what the Party’s plans are for its relationship with Wal-Mart, but as state-owned businesses have cut employees, the organization has found its membership falling.

Perhaps the move is benign, but if so, why would the Party bother at all.

Wal-Mart has enough problems in the US, and having the communists running around its stores in China is not exactly good news.
