[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1365244, member: 42270"] Walmart also has some of the worst profit margins in the retail sector: [url]http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/01/21/wal-mart-and-target-have-the-worst-gross-profit-ma.aspx[/url] When businesses race to the bottom in terms of real/total wages to employees and service, there might be some short term gains but they end up paying in the end with structural/quality problems like Walmart is experiencing. When you're paying someone $8.00/hr with a meager 401k match for retirement and Mickey Mouse health care benefits that are so awful HR is directed to assist people to apply for Medicaid and food stamps then you [B]absolutely get what you pay for[/B]. One of the primary reasons UPS is successful is because of its workforce and the workforce sticks around because its unionized and receives the benefits therein. Most drivers at UPS retire from UPS and experienced workers are priceless. Most PT'ers stick around for the benefits and so they can go driving. [/QUOTE]
