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.

how much of union members wages go to union dues and fees? because money going to unions is less money going to spend on things that one needs, food, housing, etc. if the argument is that union members get higher wages, just how much of that is real dollar value?
