Wal-Mart defends its labor practices with full-page ads
Wal-Mart chief Lee Scott led a national media push to counter charges that the retailer harms workers and stifles competition. Full-page ads in 100 papers cite opportunities, full-time jobs, and benefits while critics from UFCW challenge the honesty of the defense. The story notes union claims of under 40 hour weeks for many so-called full-time workers and ongoing lawsuits over bias and compensation.

One year adjustable remained at 4.10 percent.
