Table: Welcome to Wal-Mart's Woes

Posted on July 15, 2001

The sex-discrimination lawsuit isn't Wal-Mart's only problem. The company has also gotten into trouble with:

-- The EEOC--for failing to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (Wal-Mart says it has implemented training)

-- Judges--who have sanctioned the company 130 times for abusive litigation (Wal-Mart says it has made "significant progress" on the issue)

-- Washington state--for delaying payment on workers' compensation benefits (Wal-Mart is appealing and says it has worked with the state on the issues)

-- The National Labor Relations Board--for allegedly violating federal labor laws (Wal-Mart says such charges are "easy to make")
