The Walton family that founded and largely owns Walmart has never met an employee that it didn't want to oppress and subjugate.

Yes, Sam Walton's kids are all billionaires many times over, and behind most every billionaire you can find employees being subsidized by the government because, while working full time jobs, they are not afforded wages substantial enough to live above the poverty wage level.

UNIONS are the answer to such wage suppression, subjugation, and the worker oppression to the point of poverty.
