Aren't the terms of these bid contracts negotiable between the attorney for each? I would think that to provide everthing but that which would have given out confidential employee information could have been won through negotiation.
Best way to tame a bull is not to walk right up to him in a threatening manner but to come in from the side and scratch his belly with a stick while you lead him around by the nose. Pretty soon that bull trusts you and keeps coming back when you call. Corporations are funny animals but mostly animals are all the same.
If you are a small company trying to make a contract negotiation with a huge company ... no. They would not accept that. If you already have a relationship with a company, that's one thing. I tried multiple times to negotiate certain terms with large companies, and was rarely successful. I say *I*, but I mean I talked to the salesperson and our company owner about the terms, and they discussed negotiations with the other company.
... and ironically enough, I'd wager 95% of you all still shop at Walmart.
that would be stupid, the safeway here is cheaper and carries locally grown produce that is not sprayed with toxic chemicals. compare prices and you would be suprised. Walmart is a con game.
But the odds are heavily in favor if him being correct.
Perhaps, but I don't think as many people are gracing the doors of wm as they once did. For some reason, many people think that if you have a breath in you in this country, you must shop at wm and it just isn't so.
We haven't gone into that cesspool in years and would do without before we ever would again.
Interesting thread indeed. I have full sympathy for the original poster. It seems like Wal-Mart should advise potential bidders of these rather draconian requirements beforehand.
As for Wal-Mart shopping: I try to deal with smaller stores if possible.
If you are old enough you will recall that years ago the big thing with Wal-Mart was that everything in the store was made in the USA. Indeed, Sam Walton's autobiography was entitled "Made in the USA". Way back when Wal-Mart advertised on Paul Harvey, and Paul always stressed that everything in the store was American made.
Alas, Sam died, and his wife and children cared nothing about his ideals and soon Wal-Mart had goods made from other countries (they argued that they could no longer stock electronics, like TVs, and so had to start buying oversea products).
You can thank our fantastic legal system for your troubles. When you get sued at the clip WalMart does, you've got to do everything you can to cover your tail.
It's not about the paperwork. It's about the invasion of privacy. not just for his business but for each and every person on his payroll. They are asking for extensive information that has no bearing on the work at hand for them at all.
Wal-Mart was forced by the government in its settlement to enforce much stricter controls of its contractors.
"This case breaks new ground not only because this is a record dollar amount for a civil immigration settlement, but because this settlement requires Wal-Mart to create an internal program to ensure future compliance with immigration laws by Wal-Mart contractors and by Wal-Mart itself," said Michael J. Garcia, assistant secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (search).
