Too true.
I put the link to that article in this thread because it was the most recent thread dealing with wages, etc.

Obviously not a Walmart problem, but a wage problem...with wages stagnating everywhere but the very top.the union my husband belongs to will be in contract negotiations soon, the current contract ends this year. We are wondering what scraps will be tossed by the company.
This isn't the production union, but covers electricians, instrumentation and mechanical. Skilled workers with years of experience, who keep this place running. And they are hard to find. Won't matter, judging by past experience.
