Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people's belief that Walmart is evil in a subsegment of the industry dominated by the middle and lower classes. Low-cost disfavored Chinese labor is utilized by corporate america to maximize margins. They all do it. Only WalMart gets fingered because they are the ones who help, and those who seek to create confusion in the marketplace want to eliminate the vast middle class who have a real chance and instead stick with lower classes who may not work otherwise. So they dirty him up while allowing the others to appear clean.
The coining of the term "Uncle Sam" was a clue alluding to this::Sam Walton's WalMart is one of few saviors of the peasant class.
Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority. Unions serve to empower.Some of us see the creation of a permanent underclass as a bad thing, empowerment as good, and unions a pretty decent solution to the problem. Modern unions have their issues, but as an institution they are clearly sorely needed to protect those with no voice and little individual bargaining power, from corporations that seek to exploit them. Such as Walmart.
Low-cost disfavored Chinese labor is utilized by corporate america to maximize margins. They all do it.Sad but true. The big corporation that doesn't use cheap Chinese workers (or their counterparts elsewhere in Asia or the maquilas of Central America) are by now a rare, though welcome, exception to the rule. Walmart is simply worse than most, and they have so much more bad stuff they pull.

WalMart is one of few saviors of the peasant class.I suppose I can take some consolation in the fact that you aren't even trying to convince the million WalMart workers and the millions more who are or feel trapped into shopping there---I can't imagine they're too keen to be lumped into your "peasant class". But in any case, whether you call them peasants, working-class, or something else, I think the moniker of "savior" is rather more appropriately awarded to those actually trying to get these people, say, decent healthcare and a wage that can actually let them support themselves and their families.
