I've asked you repeatedly to provide any evidence or facts (with sources) that support your contention that "most companies" violate labor laws in a similar manner and frequency as Walmart and you still havent.
You respond with anecdotes about McDonalds and the federal government (no, I dont work for the fed) but nothing to show that Walmart's labor practices are common.
Post something credible....like an annual report or a corporate SEC filing (similar to Walmart’s that identifies more than 50 court cases of FLSA violations), DOL rulings....ANYTHING!
I dont doubt that you believe Walmart's labor practices are not out of the ordinary, but it takes more to prove it than your assertion that "they occur every day".

In '05 the DOL collected more than $166 million in back wages for 241 million employees. there were over 30,000 complaints registered.
In '05 the DOL collected more than $134 million for 219 million employees in minimum wage and overtime violations.
The industry with the largest amount of violations was not retail but resaurants.
One can safely assume that like most government enforcement agencies they can only catch a small percent of the violations in any given year. So the data represent just the tip of the iceburg.
