The American Dream

1. Break the law.
2. Blame your partner in crime for the consequences.
3. Then sue them for the "suffering" they caused you.

During that meeting, Wal-Mart official Steve Bertschy told the undercover officers the company planned to quit doing business with sub-contracting cleaning crews to eliminate costs, but they were still using them because otherwise "we would have been in a terrible mess," the affidavit said.

What did Wal-Mart do wrong? In some sort of covert gotcha operation, Wal-Mart officials did the right thing as soon as they were advised of the situation even though they didn't know they were being watched.

Wal-Mart got rid of the sub-contracted cleaning crews in a timely manner. If they had immediately termed the subcontractor, I'm sure they would have been in some sort of contractual and/or regulatory mess.
