Owned Wal-Mart shares:
Hometown judge
was partial when he tried to to stop UFCW from organising
In September 1999, a Benton County judge in
Arkansas tried to stop UFCW from entering Wal-Mart stores, distributing
union information and organising workers. When the Uni Commerce
affiliated trade union found out that he owned 700,000 U.S. Dollar worth
of Wal-Mart stock, they successfully demanded that he be withdrawn from
the case.
Now, the judicial discipline panel of the
State of Arkansas has confirmed that he was partial when issuing the
restraining order. The judge, Donald Huffman, should not have accepted
the case, according to State rules.
