Wal-mart is well-known for their unethical business practices concerning employees. They consistently place profits before the health of their employees. Just one example is Deborah Shank, who was in a collision involving a semi-trailer in 2000, resulting in permanent brain damage and confinement to a wheelchair. Years later, they sued her family for medical costs, leaving Mrs. Shank to rely on Medicaid for around-the-clock care.
