They have the right to treat the workers however they want, because they agreed to pay the workers a certain amount of pay, for a certain amount and type of work. The workers don't have to take the job, but once they take it, they are expected to deliver their end of the deal.
I don't shop at Walmart. If you disagree with their practices, then find a nice little local place and support it instead! That is what we all need to do. Support a business that has a local owner, and the whole world becomes a better place.

That is a fallacy. The USA is still the world's leading manufacturer, beating China by over 40%.
The gap has just gotten smaller, is all.
Everyone buys into the myth because all the household and cheap products are made in China. But what the US produces is things on a mass scale, scientific equipment, chemicals, pesticides, airplane parts, computer equipment, military equipment. STuff that doens't have "made in" on it.
I would have thought that in 2012 we would have progessed as a species enough to move beyond petty self-centered egotism. You come across as a person who already has a decent job and has never had to go on public assistance.

Just curious, do you live in canada? I never heard of the stock sharing options in the US, first time I heard about it was up here. Up here it seems that walmart is a great place to work. I know 4 people that work at one and are happy with it.

Except in both cases, WalMart comes in and drives out the little business. Apparently you haven't seen the towns where the only place to go is walmart.
Where have you been?

I HATE workers that don't want to honor the agreement they were thrilled to get the day they were hired. They applied for a job, interviewed for a job, and accepted the job when it was offered, for the pay that was offered, and the requirements that were outlined, but then at some point down the road they think they deserve more?
