Letter to Wal-Mart

Dear Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke,

I am aware you receive many letters addressing your human rights violations. I would like you to take a moment to truly feel the emotions one might have about these violations. Picture a hot crowded factory, similar to one you would see in the progressive era. While looking around this factory you see your mother slaving away. Though she is elder she looks withered beyond her years. She may not look miserable but she does not look fulfilled or happy. The work she is doing is only for survival, yet it is the main aspect that drives her to her grave. No one wants that for a loved one.
So a simple solution to these accusations would be to give workers what they deserve. Let them form unions and give proper benefits. I am sure you get a holiday bonus, and you deserve it, just as employees deserve more. For the over seas human rights violations, simply make a safer environment and a reasonable wage. This will not only improve employee happiness and better workers, it will improve Wal-Marts name. These actions will create even more customers, overall being beneficial for everyone involved. Any business man likes the sound of that. I do believe that these changes are as simple as I have put them.Along with that, recently I watch a movie showing Wal-Mart switch to organic products, so I know the company is capable of change for the better. Plus from what I have learned Wal-Marts initial intents and ideals are for the better, restore what Sam Walton had intended. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,



Brook Reynolds
