On March 31, the UFCW posted a video on YouTube that included clips from Flagler of Mr. Walton and other Wal-Mart executives telling employees they must always "do the right thing" and put integrity above convenience. The union was campaigning for Wal-Mart to drop its legal efforts to recoup monies paid for medical treatment of former employee Deborah Shank, who was seriously injured in an accident and had separately collected money for her injuries. Last week, Wal-Mart said it would drop its demand for repayment.

Sen. Clinton served on Wal-Mart's board of directors from 1986 to 1992, when she was first lady of Arkansas. During her presidential campaign, she has faced some criticism over Wal-Mart's labor record and the lack of women in upper management.

There is footage in the archive of Mrs. Clinton joining Mr. Walton, Wal-Mart's founder, on a stage at the 1991 opening of a store in Rogers, Ark. "I'm so proud of this company and everything it represents," Mrs. Clinton said. "It makes me feel real good about what we've been able to do."

Mr. Walton responded: "You're a great associate, Hillary." Turning to the crowd, he added: "She's one of us."
