They're baaaaaaack!

The phone books, that is . . . 

Telephone books were being delivered around town yesterday, many of which will end up moldering and forgotten in idle doorways.

Ralph Nader: Dollar General's Treatment Of Workers Is 'Shameful'

In the note to CEO Richard Dreiling, Nader said he calculated that Dreiling earns more in one day than many of his employees do over the course of an entire year, a bit of math that Nader found "shocking." According to a Wall Street Journal analysis, Dreiling's 2012 pay package was $22.5 million. Surveys on sites like GlassDoor.com show an average wage for Dollar General store associates and cashiers of less than $8 per hour.
"Dollar General's treatment of low­-wage workers is shameful," Nader wrote. "Low wages not only hurt workers: they hurt all taxpayers, too. When large, profitable corporations like Dollar General employ workers at shamefully low wages, employees are forced to resort to public assistance programs to provide their families with necessities. Thus taxpayers end up footing the bill for your company's poverty wages."

We need an outcry. Maybe one could start here.
