Walmart will continue to exist as long as the consumers feed it.
And their employees are hardly slaves. My son worked there an in our little town where the cost of living is very low, he was making $7.00 an hour and then got a 10% profit sharing bonus so in essence, was making $7.70 an hour. In addition, he received 10% of all non-food purchases and made an extra $1 an hour on Sundays no matter how few hours he'd worked. Considering the vast majority of workers at Walmarts are unskilled and uneducated, $7.70+ an hour seems pretty good.
Health insurance should be covered by the employee, not the company. It's a BENEFIT, not a right. If they offer it, great. If they don't then they certainly aren't doing anything wrong.
