Walmart demands suppliers sell them products at such a low cost that the workers who make those products -- the welders, auto technicians, carpenters, masons, construction workers, etc -- may very well be working at close to the dismal wage the "sales associates" currently work at.

Is Rowe stupid enough to think the new manufacturing jobs Walmart is spouting off about will be good paying Union jobs??

If so, I got a bridge for you, Mike....
