Stacy Mitchell Statement on the FTC’s Action Against PepsiCo for Rigging Soft Drink Competition "Much of Walmart’s market dominance can be attributed to its use of this illegal and anti-competitive tactic," says Stacy Mitchell

1. Big news! The FTC took action today to end Walmart’s stranglehold on the grocery market. The agency filed suit against Pepsi for giving illegal and unfair price advantages to Walmart while charging competing grocery retailers higher prices.

1. The FTC today sued Pepsi, the food and drink giant, for conspiring with one big box retailer to rig the price of its sodas and chips while ripping off small stores and grocers.

Yes, this is about fairness, about bullying that creates food deserts. It's also about the end of the age of Walmart.
