Also Wal-Mart sacks staff

Wal-Mart China is going to dismiss up to one hundred staff members, the official Chinese media have announced.
While those media make a link with the upcoming Labor Contract Law, that would firing people much harder, according to Wal-Mart this is part of an international reconstruction.
Last year Wal-Mart got much international attention as the Chinese trade union federation ACFTU started to organize its staff, initially against the will of the management.
In the article about the upcoming dismissals the ACFTU is even not mentioned.
