Hillary Clinton sat on the board of WalMart for 6 years, and still gets $

from them, according to Jonathan Tasini. Tasini is challenging Hillary for her senate seat, and was a guest this evening on Laura Flanders' show.

I'm still trying to verify his comments.

How far back does Walmart's "union busting" policies go back. She supposedly sat on its board in the 80's.

2. they have always been against unions

but they were not under the pressure to unionize or reform their working conditions as they are now. i don`t doubt she was on the board after all she was the wife of the governor

4. Public knowledge

This "news" was disclosed during the 1992 Presidential campaign. I think she was on the board of "I Can't Believe It's Not Yogurt" too as well as a few others. But she resigned from all of them -- I believe after Clinton was elected President in 1992.

If this is this clown's idea of a scandal, anyone who's dumb enough to vote for him, deserves what they get.

But the law office she worked for did represent walmart, I saw a A&B biography on old man walton, and she was interview and spoke very highly of him. take that for what it's worth.

6. She was named to their board back in the 80's for a few years in charge.

of their environmental policies.

She gets nothing from them and hasn't in decades.
