I posted facts in post 39. Cashiers in grocery stores earn on average $7.80 to $7.92. Walmart pays on average $7.92. If on average and if true, unionized employees earn 30% more, a union cashier makes $10.29/hour. The union cashier would make $21,415 per year if the person worked full- time, 40 hours per week. Pan says $20,000 is not a livable wage, seems like he should have a problem with an entire industry rather than a single company. Roachboy says Walmart hsa a monopolistic attitude, but a cashier can work for any company they want, even unionized companies and make more money, right? Well in some cases wrong. Walmart often hires people with little or no experience and trains them. After they get training and experience, then they can go to work anywhere they want. That is a good deal in my book.
