Also, such a huge company couldn’t avoid lawsuits. Despite the fact that Walmart had been contributing to a better life of people around the world providing job opportunities, offering cheaper products to save people money so they can have a better life, contributing millions of dollars for disaster relief, it was accused of racial and gender discrimination, employee surveillance, foreign product sourcing, anti-competitive practices, poor supervision of foreign product suppliers, and environmental issues.
