> 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.
