Jim Shank Proves Activism Works

Jim sat down to thank everyone that helped his family including Walmart Watch. Walmart tried to take advantage of his wife Debbie after she was a victim of a brutal car accident. They went after her insurance money, but stopped after the spotlight was turned on them by thousands of people who spoke out on their behalf.

Mighty WalMart Caves To The Shank Family

First off, I'd like to congratulate WalMart on doing the right thing. Secondly, the reason WalMart caved was that this decision to gain $417,000 to their profit margin brought so much negative backlash that they ultimately had to relent. Despite getting a few brownie points in my book for sparing the financial of future of this family that lost one son in Iraq and a has a mother that needs a lifetime of care, they only did it for PR purposes. If they wanted to be good citizens, they never would have filed such a heinous lawsuit.
