A group of nuns say that Wal-Mart has labeled them as a security threat for questioning the retail giant’s human rights record.
"We’ve been raising questions with them for about 17 years, so it’s not like they don’t know it," Sister Mika said.
Now, the sisters find themselves on Wal-Mart’s security threat list. Sister Mika said the group has been wrongly labeled.
"In no way have we ever been a threat to the company in that sense. We might be a threat in the kind of question that we’re asking, but not a security threat," Sister Mika said.
The sisters have raised questions on wages, human rights, health care and the pay disparity between CEOs and workers. They believe that’s why Wal-Mart has launched a surveillance operation on the small church group.
