WAKEUPWALMART.COM WELCOMES MICHAEL DUKE AS THE NEW CEO OF WAL-MART,
INVITES HIM TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. announced today that effective February 1st, Lee
Scott will retire as the Chief Executive Officer of Wal-Mart and Mike
Duke will take his place. It was also announced that Eduardo
Castro-Wright will be promoted to Vice-Chairman of Wal-Mart stores.

The following statement is attributed to Meghan Scott, Spokesperson for
WakeUpWalMart.com.

“This is an incredible time of change and transition, both for
Wal-Mart, and the country. With its change in leadership, we hope
Wal-Mart will embrace this opportunity for a positive change in the way
it does business.

“We invite Mr. Duke, as the new CEO of Wal-Mart, to live up to the
company’s responsibility to pay its workers a living wage, especially
in this dire economy where working people are struggling and Wal-Mart is
profiting. We invite Mr. Duke to improve Wal-Mart’s employee benefits
so that all of its associates can afford quality health care. Lastly, we
invite Mr. Duke to make a real commitment to the American economy by
keeping manufacturing jobs here in the United States, not pressuring its
suppliers to go overseas.

“We welcome this important transition, and we welcome Mr. Duke. We
look forward to a better Wal-Mart, and we hope Mr. Duke can be the one
to make it happen.”
