>Multinational Monitor's Ten Worst Corporations of 1998 are:
>* Chevron, for continuing to do business with a brutal dictatorship in
>Nigeria and for alleged complicity in the killing of civilian protesters.
>
>* Coca-Cola, for hooking America's kids on sugar and soda water. Today,
>teenage boys and girls drink twice as much soda pop as milk, whereas 20
>years ago they drank nearly twice as much milk as soda.
>
>* General Motors, for becoming an integral part of the Nazi war machine,
>and then years later, when documented proof emerges, denying it.
>
>* Loral and its chief executive Bernard Schwartz, for dumping $2.2 million
>into Clinton/Gore and Democratic Party coffers. The Clinton administration
>responded by approving a human rights waiver to clear the way for
>technology transfers to China.
>
>* Mobil, for supporting the Indonesian military in crushing an indigenous
>uprising in Aceh province and allegedly allowing the military to use
>company machinery to dig mass graves.
>
>* Monsanto, for introducing genetically engineered foods into the
>foodstream without adequate safety testing and without labeling, thus
>exposing consumers to unknown risks.
>
>* Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, for pleading guilty to felony crimes for
>dumping oil in the Atlantic Ocean and then lying to the Coast Guard about
>it.
>
>* Unocal, for engaging in numerous acts of pollution and law violations,
>to such a degree that citizens in California petitioned the state's
>attorney general to revoke the company's charter.
>
>* Wal-Mart, for crushing small town America, for paying low, low wages (a
>huge percentage of Wal-Mart workers are eligible for food stamps), for
>using Asian child labor and for homogenizing the population; and last, but
>not least,
>
>* Warner-Lambert, for marketing a hazardous diabetes drug, Rezulin, which
>has been linked to at least 33 deaths due to liver injuries.
