This is just too easy. In your zeal to selectively quote from the article, you conveniently forgot these other facts FROM YOUR OWN LINK.

Companies (not just Wal-Mart) routinely take out secret life insurance policies on the lives of their low-level employees ...

The policies are called corporate-owned life insurance policies or COLIs for short.

It is impossible to know how many companies purchased COLI policies on their employees because of secrecy surrounding the policies. But an attorney for the Hartford Life Insurance Co. estimated that one-fourth of the Fortune 500 companies have them, which cover the lives of between 5 million and 6 million workers.

For example, Procter & Gamble and AT&T have them, but representatives of both companies would not comment on the details.

While COLIs are usually kept under wraps, they have suddenly become the focus in a lawsuit here against Wal-Mart, one of the city's largest employers, and Camelot Music.

Have you boycotted these products?

Do ou have Sprint service? That's AT&T an unfeeling corporate entity.

If Wal-Mart is an unfeeling coroprate entity, what does that make the Hartford Life Insurance Co. and AIG Life Insurance Co.? which sold them the policies.

When a company well-versed in insurance codes comes to Hartford to buy COLI policies, Hartford does not pay attention to whether "insurable interest" needs to apply, Chasnoff said.

Meanwhile, National Convenience Stores also has bought accidental death policies on its employees. When an employee died at work, such as in a robbery, NCS received $250,000, Clearman said.

Sprint is not an AT&T company. Sprint is Sprint Nextel. AT&T is a separate company... the cell phone company used to be called Cingular.

Arrrrrrgh!! Ya got me pahdner.

That was Verizon that had James Earl Jones, not Sprint. Sorry about that.

Is Verizon still part of AT&T or did they split off?
 
i've never been to any of those walmart-related websites you mention, BTW. i must have got my lies right out of the celestial vapors.
 
I can't recall American history being taught in my school past the 9th grade unless you chose it as some sort of college prep elective. World History was skeletaly covered in the 10th grade though. Trying to cover the whole world in the span of a 45 min class over one school year was about frickin funny... and almost pointless... especially since it was 90% Eurocentrisic. An alien falling out of the sky taking that class would have left thinking that the world started with Charlemagne and ended with Napoleon and its map would have been no more than Russia, Europe, and North Africa. China? Asia? South America? Screw em.
 
It varies by State. I arbitrarily chose 10th. Your mileage may vary. Must be present to win. Void where prohibited, prohibited where voided, and unthinkably evil in most Canadian provinces. Offer expires at midnight Eastern time. Close cover before striking. Know when to say when, and when to say not when. All rights reserved and all reservations righted.

Verizon used to be GTE. I guess technically you could say it used to be part of AT&T because GTE was one of the "baby bells" that split off from AT&T in the 80s... as was Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell, etc.

Hell, you don't have to go there at all. Those lies have been making the word-of-mouth circuit like urban legends for years.

It is kinda fun going to those links to see just how far the union hacks are willing to go to try to get those 1.8 million dues paying members dollars into their coffers. It takes a lot of money to run those limos and private jets and taking out ads to tell the rank-and-file how to vote.

Just think of how the prices at Wal-Mart would escalate if they could rope a deal with them like they did with GM. GM has to pay their laid-off employees their full wage, plus health benefits, even though they don't work there any more. GM spends over five billion dollars on health care and only 2.2 billion for steel to build cars. $1,500 of every car is for health care so they can't compete with the foreign competition which gets government subsidies. If GM is still in business in five years it will amaze me. That's why the unions need fresh blood or they won't survive either.

I hated GTE. They couldn't do anything right, as far as I was concerned. Verizon fixed all that.
