Abstract:
Everyone continues to await whether the sex discrimination suit against Wal-Mart gets class action status. The discovery process made it clear that the magnitude of dollars and people involved is enormous. It also
heightened sensitivity among other retailers and underscored that passivity was no longer acceptable management—especially in view of earlier settlements by leading industry players.

The federal government found plenty of time to irk manufacturers and retailers alike with high-cost potential legislation designed for ‘consumer protection and enlightenment.’ The bills included Country of Origin Labeling, trans fats labeling guidelines and food serving size on labels.

Regulators also took a closer look at accounting transparency after the Ahold scandal…and of course, slotting fees.
