Just-Us Monolithic Corporations
Ex-Worker Ordered Not to Discuss Wal-Mart's Spy Operations
In business news, Wal-Mart has reclaimed its position as the largest corporation in the United States edging out Exxon Mobil. Meanwhile Wal-Mart has succeeded in winning a gag order to stop a fired security operative from speaking out about the company's spy operations. Earlier this month Bruce Gabbard told the Wall Street Journal that Wal-Mart is running a sophisticated surveillance operation that targets employees, journalists, stockholders and critics of the company. Gabbard also revealed that the company had infiltrated an anti-Wal-Mart group. In addition to the gag order, a judge has order Gabbard to name every person whom he has discussed Wal-Mart with over the past three months. Wal-Mart alleges that Gabbard has violated trade secrets law by revealing confidential information about Wal-Mart security systems and operations.
