In 2005, the Service Employees’ International Union (SEIU) created Wal-Mart Watch, with an annual budget of $5 million. The purpose was to make Wal-Mart a “better employer, neighbor, and corporate citizen,” and Wal-Mart eventually capitulated on some of the SEIU’s specific demands as well.
沃尔玛在这个问题上也吃过亏。在2005年，服务业雇员国际工会（SEIU）创立了一个名叫沃尔玛监视者的组织，每年活动经费500万美元，目标只有一个，就是为了使沃尔玛成为一个“更好的雇主，邻居和企业公民”，而沃尔玛最终也只能屈从于SEIU的某些特殊要求。
