They are the largest employer in the world. They set the standards on pay.
If they are forced to raise wages, other big box retailers would have to follow suit in order to compete.
Meanwhile, walmart accepts corporate welfare in numerous ways and china is polluting the world and growing stronger.
The only way for Americans to really compete at this point in manufacturing, is flood the prison system with low waged workers for .50 and hour.
If companies like Unicor have their way, that's where we are headed.
