Once again, Wal-Mart has been criticized of pushing the demanding schedule policies and the wage caps. As a matter of fact, other big retailers, such as Sears and Target, have already begun using more part-time workers, adopting pay caps, and requiring more demanding work schedules in one way or another. However, since the conflicts between Wal-Mart and the Labor Union – Wal-Mart does not allow its 1.3 million workers to organize worker unions in the U.S. Wal-Mart, as always, is on the country’s top watch-list for its labor practices.
On the other hand, Wal-Mart says it has received an average of seven applications for every job opening at a new store in the last three months. Seven to one, the message from Wal-Mart is very clear: there are more people who want to work for the company, and if you don’t like Wal-Mart, you can leave.
In fact, Wal-Mart is just doing what it’s supposed to do: making more profits for the owners of the company. If you are truly a capitalist, you shouldn’t be against it.
