OKFU0, The article you quote makes many valid arguments but it must be considered that market forces do not control Walmart in the normal sense. Walmart controls market forces. Remember that Walmart's yearly revenues are only slightly less that Canada's. It is likely more efficient in operation than Canada, more globally integrated, more single-minded in purpose, and less constrained by a social conscience.
If Walmart gave a fuck about employee turn-over, it would have adjusted its wages. It doesn't. If Walmart could improve profitability by reducing employee turn-over, it would have adjusted its wages. It doesn't. It's simple mathematics coupled with the fact that Walmart can find a limitless supply of humanity willing to work for $8/hour.
