[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1193754, member: 46824"] Just take Costco vs Sam's for an example. Costco's employees are Teamsters, Sam's are not in a Union. Costco employees make near double what Sam's make after the same amount of time, have union insurance (which is better than 95% of corporate America), pension, etc, and Sam's doesn't have any these that are comparable to the Teamster benefits. The 2 companies could not be more different in their employee compensation and are in direct competition where both companies operate in the same area. Guess what? Despite all of that, Costco is not going out of business, they are in fact holding their own. Despite everything their employees get, they have just as cheap of prices as Sam's. I'm not even saying all companies need to meet the Costco criteria (would be nice though), but most large companies that are properly run (not Kmart the way it was run 10 years ago for example) could find middle ground with little to no problems and still make large profits. I would hazard to guess, that the shopping experience would improve also as most employees that are happy with their wages tend to work harder (UPS is an exception, lol). [/QUOTE]
