BENTONVILLE (dpa-AFX) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) asked Arkansas Governor Hutchinson to veto religion freedom bill.
Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO, said 'Every day, in our stores, we see firsthand the benefits diversity and inclusion have on our associates, customers and communities we serve. It all starts with our core basic belief of respect for the individual.'
McMillon said, 'Today's passage of HB1228 threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold. For these reasons, we are asking Governor Hutchinson to veto this legislation.'
