Unions have sued Gilroy, CA, saying that its approval of a WM supercenter violates state environmental and economic blight laws. :
Some of the stipulations required of WM border on the asinine:
In March, Council sifted through nearly three hours of economic, environmental and ethical arguments before voting 5-2 to allow Wal-Mart to move from its existing Wal-Mart store on Arroyo Circle to the big-box enclave at Pacheco Pass Center off Highway 152 and U.S. 101.
When Council approved the Supercenter in March, it did so with a list of 10 conditions the store would have to meet. The conditions ranged from providing a children�s play room with information on protecting the environment to sponsoring seminars that teach small business owners how to compete with the retail giant.
