Wal-Mart Ordered to Pay $172 Million by Jury

"What was compelling for the jury was that we put a lot of evidence before
them of memos by Wal-Mart from seven years ago that concluded they had been
breaking the law," said Jessica Grant, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. "Instead
of taking steps to solve the problem, Wal-Mart concealed it."

Wal-Mart faces similar lawsuits in over 30 states, said Grant, whose firm is
pressing two of the court challenges, one in Maryland and the other in
Massachusetts, on behalf of 80,000 class-action plaintiffs.

Kaito (Degen) is a subsidiary of China National Electronics Import &
Export
Shenzhen Company (CEIEC ShenZhen) http://www.ceiecsz.com.cn/

The CEIEC company is a conglomerate who manufactures hundreds of
electronic
products with brand names such as Mastech, Sinometer, Unistar, Kaiwa,
Epsic,
Hisonic. The company is distributed in more than ten enterprises in the
fields of international trade, real estate, financial securities and high
&
new tech industries.

ANY Chinese company in China as large and broad as CEIEC inevitably is
intimately associated with the PLA and the Chinese Communist Party.

I'm as anti-Wal-Mart as they come, but I do remember seeing a photo
review of the Degen factory on radiointel.com, and things looked pretty
good. I just checked on the website and can't seem to come accross it
for a link. From what I remember of it, the working conditions looked
very good.
