      <description>
    Federal prosecutors are considering manslaughter charges against BP for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that released a total of 4.9 million barrels of crude oil and lasted 87 days; the initial rig explosion also killed 11 workers. Charging individuals for manslaughter involved in the incident is not typical but expected to have a significant deterrent effect, especially in environmental safety cases. BP has committed $20 billion to settle claims by those hurt by the oil spill and has already paid out $4 billion. However, BP stock fell 2.2 percent in London due to talk of the potential charges.

Apple&#x2019;s score was better than Acer or Gateway&#x2019;s, slightly worse than Sony and IBM, and trailed HP and Dell by wide margins.

      <description>
    The Nigerian government accepted an offer to settle its $5 billion lawsuit against Pfizer out of court.  The drug maker was being sued for punitive damages for allegedly illegally testing its antibiotic Trovan on children during a 1996 meningitis epidemic.  According to the Nigerian government and families of the victims, at least 96 children were either killed or suffered severe neurological injury as a result of the administration of the experimental drug.  A separate lawsuit filed in New York by the families was allowed to move forward in January 2009.

      <title>Time Warner Cable increased its rates without any real reason.</title>
      <description>
    Time Warner Cable increased its rates without any real reason.  The Communications Workers of America Union claims that the company is putting more money into executives pockets and leaving lower level employees with nothing.  In 2008 there were 35 employees without a pension plan.  &lt;p&gt;
Timer Warner Cable says they are increasing their rates due to higher demand for premium packages and the rising cost of fuel.  They also claim that the reason why the CWA is protesting is because the President of the union is an employee of Verizon, which is a rival of Time Warner Cable.

      <description>
    Forest Ethics rated retailers on their paper use in 2009 in terms of use of Forest Stewardship Council certified paper, recycled content, paper reduction and the avoidance of paper from endangered forests. Forest Ethics judges the retailer&#x2019;s paper choice in its catalogs and other mailings to form a &#x201C;Naughty/Nice List&#x201D; of a total of 21 companies. Sears earned a &#x201C;naughty&#x201D; rating because although they finally established a paper policy, it is mostly greenwashing.

      <description>
    An internal Wal-Mart memo to the board of directors was published containing controversial proposals for keeping company health care spending low while simultaneously repairing its damaged public image.  Proposals ranged from making employees withstand a longer waiting period before joining the company's policy to changing all job descriptions to include some level of physical activity, thereby ensuring the hiring of only healthier workers.

    According to the Clean Clothes Campaign, &#x201C;Although Fila has a Code of Business Conduct, we have not been able to trace any information on how the company actually implements its code. Fila has not joined any multi-stakeholder initiatives on labour standards. Evidence on the ground suggests that the company is far from meeting its ethical commitments.&#x201D;

    Ford was rated as the 18th worst polluter on the Political Economy Research Institute's (PERI) Toxic 100 index. PERI is an &#x201C;independent unit of the University of Massachusetts,&#x201D; that promotes environmental sustainability and human rights through research. The index is based on 2007 EPA Toxics Release Inventory data. PERI's Toxic 100 index ranks the nation's largest companies based on the quantity of their emissions, relative toxicity of chemicals emitted, and proximity to population centers, among other criteria.

      <description>
    Exxon-Mobil was ranked the fifth &#x201C;greenest&#x201D; oil company out of the top 10 leading US oil corporations by Greenopia in 2011. Exxon publishes a decent sustainability report but the data for oil spill volume is not included. Greenopia also commends Exxon&#x2019;s relatively low water consumption involved in its oil production and notes that Exxon has had a &#x201C;very small&#x201D; number of spills in regards to the volume of its oil production. However, Greenopia criticizes Exxon&#x2019;s massive production of greenhouse gas emissions, even when scaled to production as Exxon&#x2019;s is the largest oil company. This year&#x2019;s emissions are significantly lower than 2008 but Exxon still produces a lot of waste, even when scaled against production. Exxon has been recently accused for a spill in Brooklyn, New York that was larger in the total amount of oil spilled than the Exxon Valdez, as this spill is estimated at 17-30 million gallons versus the Valdez&#x2019;s 11 million; the spill has been taking place from the 1800s to 1900s and Exxon has not done anything to address it.

      <description>
    &#x2022; Delta Air Lines, Inc is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a global group of airlines and airports.  The IATA has staunchly opposed plans for a carbon emissions trading system in the European Union that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of global climate change.  The organization has argued that such a scheme would be prohibitively expensive for the airlines and make it more difficult to retain profits.

      <description>
    Christine Drake, a Seattle woman with psychiatric disabilities, is charging Starbucks Coffee Co. with decreasing her hours, berating her in front of customers, and failing to accommodate her special needs before firing her in 2004. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is requesting Starbucks to pay Drake $40,000 in lost wages.  Should the case go before a jury, Starbucks could pay up to $300,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.

      <description>
    According to the International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF), Wal-Mart workers from around the world came together to sue Wal-Mart in a California Superior Court on September 13, 2005, citing a wide range of labor abuses.  Plaintiffs in the case included men and women from California, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Nicaragua, and Swaziland who recounted numerous violations of international labor standards under the responsibility of Wal-Mart.  
&lt;p&gt;
The ILRF claims that Wal-Mart &#x201C;failed to meet its contractual duty to ensure that its suppliers pay basic wages due; forced [workers] to work excessive hours seven days a week with no time off for holidays; obstructed [workers&#x2019;] attempts to form a union; and, made false and misleading statements to the American public about the company&#x2019;s labor and human rights practices.&#x201D; 
&lt;p&gt;
According to the ILRF, Wal-Mart presents foreign suppliers with a Supplier Standards Agreement that makes compliance with Wal-Mart&#x2019;s corporate code of conduct a prerequisite for any supplier-purchaser relationship. The code of conduct inclusion is intended to serve as a built-in protection for workers at foreign factories.  Workers have the right to enforce these standards if employers fail to do so, and the ILRF states that the governments of countries represented in this case lack the necessary legal infrastructure to adequately redress grievances related to labor abuses.

      <description>
    According to the nonprofit investigative journalism group the Center for Public Integrity, IBM is responsible for 28 current or former Superfund sites. Superfund sites are locations designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as being so contaminated by toxic chemicals that they are dangerous to human health. Companies found responsible for superfund sites are required to either pay for the cleanup personally, or to pay the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct the cleanup. IBM, which is designated as bearing full responsibility for one site, and shared responsibility for 27 others, has only successfully cleaned up 2 sites since the Superfund law was passed in 1980.

      <description>
    An Oxfam International report called &#x201C;Offside! Labour Rights and Sportswear Production in Asia,&#x201D; examines how twelve international sports brands are confronting worker rights issues in factories, particularly the right to form and join trade unions. Reebok acted swiftly and decisively in response to violations of trade union workers&#x2019; rights in Factories A and B, two Indonesian factories that workers wish to remain unnamed. Reebok worked in partnership with labor rights organizations, promptly launching an investigation upon hearing trade union workers&#x2019; complaints. The company applied pressure to its suppliers for workers&#x2019; rights compliance, expressed concern over the number of temporary workers, and continuously assisted workers with its human rights staff. Such actions have compelled the management at Factory A to terminate its business relationship with Reebok.

&lt;p&gt;While Reebok has a record of supporting trade unionists, Oxfam International challenges the corporation to examine this issue on a global scale. Oxfam urges Reebok to:
&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Properly investigate allegations of discrimination against trade union members, especially in nations where the courts and government are under-resourced&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increase transparency to ensure their buying practices do not have negative impacts on workers and their right to organize&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

      <description>
    At the end of 2008, GlaxoSmithKline announced that it would no longer be spending corporate money on political contributions.  During the 2008 campaigns, the company provided over $585,000 in donations to political candidates in the United States.  CEO Andrew Witty said that the decision was made in order to increase corporate transparency and to get rid of the idea that political contributions give pharmaceutical companies special privileges.  The move will not apply to individual employees&#x2019; donations, nor to the political action committee run by employees.

      <description>
    In 1998, Daimler paid $37 billion to acquire Chrysler.  Ten years later, Daimler sold an 80.1% stake in the company to Cerberus Capital Management for $7.4 billion.  Former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca criticized Daimler AG for failing to maintain the profitable trend enjoyed by Chrysler prior to the 1998 merger.

      <title>In 2002, information surfaced on clinical trials undertaken by GlaxoSmithKline in its testing of the efficacy of the anti-depressa</title>
      <description>
    In 2002, information surfaced on clinical trials undertaken by GlaxoSmithKline in its testing of the efficacy of the anti-depressant Paxil in children.  Worldwide, hundreds of children participated in three different studies, each involving two groups:  one receiving Paxil, the other receiving a placebo.  In the end, Paxil proved to be no more effective than the placebo.  In the largest trial, Study 329, seven children developed side effects so serious that they needed to be hospitalized.  Significantly more children taking Paxil attempted suicide or self-harm on the drug than the placebo.  When the company discovered these results, it brought in experts to bury the negative test results and ghost-write scientific articles claiming that Paxil was safe and effective in children.  The drug is now banned in the UK and carries a black-box suicide risk label in the United States.

      <description>
    &#x2022; In late 2006, US Airways barred six Muslim clerics from a Minneapolis-to-Phoenix flight.  The imams, who had prayed on their prayer rugs prior to boarding the flight, were removed from the plane after a passenger told a flight attendant that he was alarmed by their behavior.  The men were then handcuffed, detained and questioned.  Company officials also stated that the passenger overheard them making what he thought were anti-American statements.  Flight attendants consulted with local law enforcement and the FBI, who decided that the men posed a security risk.

      <description>
    The State Department of Environmental Conservation fined Hess Corporation $1.1 million in February 2008 for petroleum storage violations. The agreement also entails $300,000 of funding for a wetlands restoration project and the clean up of 65 gas stations and oil storage facilities in New York City and the Hudson Valley. The violations, tracing back to the 1990s and early 2000s, concern noncompliance with storage regulations as well as the restoration of a bulkhead without proper permits.

      <description>
    In February 2005 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against Burger King on behalf of a 16 year-old former employee who claimed she was fired after refusing the store manager's repeated requests for sex. According to the lawsuit, the teenager started working at a Milwaukee Burger King in January 2003 and refused the store manager's requests for sex. In September 2003, she was fired after making plans to complain about the harassment to some of the company's managers who were scheduled to visit the restaurant, the lawsuit said.&lt;p&gt;The lawsuit seeks a court order reinstating Merriweather to her job, back pay
and compensatory and punitive damages up to $300,000, said Jean Kamp, an EEOC
attorney.

&lt;p&gt;The manager who fired Merriweather is in his mid-30s and still works at the
restaurant, Kamp said.

    According to the Social Investment Research Analyst Network, ten years after the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission recommended disclosure of diversity data as a way to remove barriers and promote women and minority advancement, most US companies still fail to voluntarily disclose EEO data to the public.  Avon is listed as one of the companies that does not provide full public disclosure.  Rather, disclosure of EEO data is made upon request.

      <description>
    In January 2004, Christian Brothers Investment Services urged Costco shareholders to demand that the company publicly disclose its land procurement policies at the annual shareholders meeting. Costco has previously lacked a stated policy for land procurement and use. Its practices in such locations as Cuernavaca, Mexico, Cypress, Ca. and other sites in the U.S. have led to the criticism of social, human rights and environmental groups.  (see related items)

      <description>
    21 people filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against Cracker Barrel in December 2001 for widespread racism, ranging from segregating black customers in the smoking section to denying them service. This case will be the largest civil rights lawsuit against a restaurant chain since Denny&#x2019;s settled a lawsuit in 1994 for $46 million.

      <description>
    Tyson Foods is among the companies that together have paid millions of dollars to settle federal government allegations that they had violated U.S. trade embargoes against rogue nations. The company reportedly shipped $250,000 worth of frozen chicken parts to Iraq through a broker in Jordan, violating the US trade embargo with Iraq. Tyson Foods paid a fine of $150,000 to settle the allegations. A Tyson Foods spokesman said the shipment was made by Hudson Foods, which was acquired by Tyson in 1998."When we purchased Hudson we acquired all the assets and liabilities, this being a liability.We weren't aware this activity occurred until after the purchase."

      <description>
    &#x2022; In 2006, Virgin Atlantic was investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice and Britain&#x2019;s Office of Fair Trade for an alleged price fixing scheme involving British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, United Airways and American Airlines.  Virgin Airways executives brought the scheme to the attention of the British authorities after an executive from British Airways approached them with an offer to fix prices for international cargo rates and passenger fuel surcharges.  Because Virgin blew the whistle on the plan, it escaped fines and penalties at the conclusion of the investigation.

      <description>
    There was a &#x201C;substantial&#x201D; oil spill from a leaking pipe at a Sunoco pump station near Cygnet, Ohio in February 2009. The pipeline carries approximately 142,000 barrels of crude oil per day and the strong river currents and gusting winds have caused the oil to migrate more than 12 miles northeast in the Portage River, toward Lake Erie.

      <title>L.L. Bean has been officially inducted in the International Labor Rights Forum's 2010 Sweatshop Hall of Fame.</title>
      <description>
    L.L. Bean has been officially inducted in the International Labor Rights Forum's 2010 Sweatshop Hall of Fame. This list includes apparel and textile companies that use sweatshops in their global production, tend to evade fair labor standards and are slow to respond to improving working conditions. Most of the companies employ laborers who work in dangerous conditions and for long hours for poverty wages. Many of 2010's inductees also use child labor and suppress worker's rights to organize. Other inductees along L.L. Bean include Abercrombie and Fitch, Gymboree, Hanes, Ikea, Kohl's, Pier 1 Imports and Walmart.

      <description>
    In 2002, Coca-Cola was among the first companies to deduct the value of executive stock options as an expense. The action was taken in response to increasing public demands for clear and complete financial statements. Prior to the corporate accounting scandals many companies relied heavily on options to compensate executives but did not deducted them as expenses. Analysts blame the use of large numbers of options that aren't reflected in earnings for creating incentives for executives to artificially inflate stock prices.

      <description>
    With the increased activism surrounding immigrant rights, there was a series of demonstrations organizing around the meatpacking industry in cities such as Washington DC, Boston, New York, Raleigh, Richmond, and Chicago. Specifically, organizers targeted Smithfield Foods, the nation's largest meatpacker. A diverse coalition of groups including DC Jobs with Justice, Campaign for Labor Rights, and United Food and Commercial Workers, highlighted the dangerous working conditions in the world's largest pork processing facility in Tar Heel, North Carolina.  Working conditions have not improved since the 2002 lawsuit that found the company guilty of violating human rights in Tar Heel, NC. (Please see related alert item under &#x201C;Unionization,&#x201D; citing Feedstuff.)

      <description>
    In January 2004, in the wake of worker strikes over health care benefits, Safeway Inc. awarded 11 senior and executive vice presidents millions of dollars in stock grants and options under a new compensation plan.  When Labor leaders and union representatives criticized this decision, a Safeway spokesperson responded that the awards were necessary because "after two years of wage freezes and undersized bonuses, it was becoming difficult to attract and keep talent.

      <description>
    Announced in 1998, the Cuiaba pipeline in South America has been controversial from the onset. Running through Bolivia's Chiquitano Tropical Forest, the 390 mile long natural gas pipeline was built by the now infamous Enron and is partly owned by Shell is part owner of the Cuiaba pipeline in South America. The pipeline has substantially affected indigenous communities that reside in the region surrounding the pipeline, threatened more than 90 endangered species living in the forest, and has led to an increase in illegal logging and poaching.  Indigenous communities, NGOs and even the governments of the countries affected proposed alternative routes for the pipeline, but Enron and Shell claimed they would be too costly.

      <description>
    The International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF) has sued Nestl&#xE9;, Archer Daniels Midland, and Cargill in Federal District Court in Los Angeles for involvement in the trafficking, torture, and forced labor of children who cultivate and harvest cocoa beans that the companies import from Africa. They filed suit on behalf of a class of Malian children who were trafficked from Mali into the Ivory Coast and forced to work twelve to fourteen hours a day with no pay, little food and sleep, and frequent beatings. The three children acting as class representative plaintiffs are proceeding anonymously as John Does because of feared retaliation by the farm owners for whom they worked.

      <description>
    ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP, as well as a handful of other exploration and pipeline companies are being charged in a class-action lawsuit filed weeks after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of southern Louisiana.  The class-action case faults oil and exploration companies for heightening the level of ruin caused by the hurricane.  Plaintiffs claim that in efforts to uncover oil and natural gas, these companies indiscriminately and irresponsibly dredged the coastal wetlands of Louisiana, which serve as a critical natural buffer against storm surges and flooding.  The case was filed on behalf of all Hurricane Katrina survivors. The lawsuit was initially rejected by a district court when it was first filed in 2005 but in 2010, several federal appeals court judges agreed that the case could be heard, eventually agreeing to set a hearing date and decide whether the case can progress by the end of the year.

      <description>
    The &lt;i&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/i&gt; reported that Thomas M. Coughlin, former board member and Vice Chairman of Wal-Mart, claims to have operated an &#x201C;illegal anti-union slush fund&#x201D; while employed at the company.  The fund, he alleges, was part of an actual Wal-Mart program to prevent workers from unionizing in the workplace.  According to the Wall Street Journal, if these allegations prove to be true, Wal-Mart would be guilty of violating the federal Taft-Hartly Act, which outlaws efforts to discourage employees from participating in a workers union vis-&#xE0;-vis monetary coercion.

      <description>
    In November 2002, sweatshop campaigners demanded a Holiday boycott against Gap because of alleged evidence that links the clothing retailer to sweatshop labor in six countries. Two groups--Africa Forum and Unite, the union of textile employees, presented evidence of "abusive working conditions" collected from interviews with 200 people in more than 40 Gap-contracted factories in Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Lesotho, El Salvador and Mexico.

    According to &lt;I&gt;Business Week&lt;/I&gt;, "Based on filings Wal-Mart made to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, ...72 percent of the company's sales staff are women but only one-third of them make it into management, despite Wal-Mart's promote-from-within policy. That means, according to EEOC data, that Wal-Mart doesn't just rank below its current retailing peers, which have an average of 56 percent women managers, but it also ranks below rivals' levels of 25 years ago."
