--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests were held around the world Friday to call attention to labor
practices at the retail giant Wal-Mart. Workers in the U.S. and nine
other countries rallied at Wal-Mart stores and subsidiaries to denounce
the company's alleged attempts to silence workers seeking to unionize
and reform workplace conditions. Aside from the United States, the
demonstrations took place in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Nicaragua,
Canada, Britain, South Africa, Zambia and India.
