[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3238762, member: 29267"] That’s what I was thinking. Yes, exploitation is real and does happen, but in general I applaud a business that has found success through consensual relationships, even if (especially if) they make “obscene” amounts of money and their customers are willing to pay high prices (e.g. Apple). Walmart employees have every right to work with another employer who treats them better, even if they don’t have the opportunity (which isn’t Walmart’s fault). And hey have every right to negotiate with Walmart, individually or collectively, for better terms of employment, even though that negotiation may fail (and may have an undesirable outcome). I don’t like Walmart’s business model and some of their business practices. So I don’t shop there much. But for the most part they’re just a legitimate business making money honestly – with the clout to get very favorable deals. If they’re failing to pay employees for hours worked (DST thing someone mentioned), that should be dealt with, along with any other violation of rights. [/QUOTE]
