Yep. I think we pushed past that a couple of decades ago.

The unions (in my opinion) made themselves irrelevant by going too far and instead of being a voice for the workers, became an institution unto themselves.

In a lot of ways they ended up costing people jobs here in the USA in recent decades.
Not the way they were originally intended to work for sure.

As far as what Costco pays VS what Walmart pays... Walmart management pays an employee what the task is worth to them.

It's pretty simple, if you are an unskilled worker and work at Walmart and don't like it...QUIT. Go work for Costco and make a dollar or two more.

OR...make yourself more valuable to the company. Learn a skill. Or stop just punching a time clock and start kicking ass on your job.

And if none of that floats your boat...then just sit back and let motivated people run right past you in the game of life.

That's how I see it. And that's how it SHOULD be.
