Liberty Wal-Mart Resists City's Plan.

http://www.tribtoday.com/page/content.detail/id/509653.html Wal-Mart is resisting the JEDD contract http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Economic_Development_District because they refuse to accept the requirement that at least 25% of it's employees be local residents. Unlike affirmative action http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action, which pertains to race, this agreement would only deal with region. Is Wal-Mart planning on transplanting white workers, from out of town, instead of hiring local blacks? Who knows? But if they they aren't prejudiced against some people, then why don't they just go along with the conditions? Certainly they should be able to find at least 25% of the local applicants to be qualified. Local buisnesses should directly benefit economicly the communities in which they serve. Not only so that the local government can generate more tax revenue, but so that there residents can have more jobs, which is the best social program of all.
