What about unionization? Is it true that Walmart has used anti-unionization tactics?
What does anti-unionization mean?
I don't see how walmart could keep workers from associating with one another (nor should it be able to), but fail to see how they are entitled to increased pay and benefits because they formed a group. and its walmart perogative to replace any worker that believes so.
No easy solutions. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that Socialism doesn't work. But the gap between the haves and have nots is much worse than it used to be.
The wonder that is America provides an easy fix for this. Opportunity. Even if you have to make your own. The have-nots *can* choose to join the haves - but it involves something many of the have-nots despise - work and diligence. My wife arrived from the former Soviet Union with $50 in her pocket and an overnight bag, speaking English as a second language. She now makes over $200K annually. I was born into and grew up in the shadow of a mill, and having worked to escape that, am rewarded similarly. We haven't done anything others cannot do, but it takes work and commitment.
A question for Bernie. Have you ever shopped at a Walmart?
Retail and Fast Food have never been careers that one can make a fortune working at. These jobs are not that highly skilled, dangerous or physically demanding and the pay reflects that.
I know 2 guys that own gift shops. They are very Liberal and vote a straight Democrat ticket. I once asked them what they thought of the $15 minimum wage and they were all for it but then I asked why they don't pay their people $15 per hour now and they both said "are you crazy we would go out of business".
$15 per hour sounds like a great idea that will really help people that work retail jobs BUT let me burst the socialist liberal bubble, the extra money has to come from somewhere.

"But the gap between the haves and have nots is much worse than it used to be"
I have NEVER agreed with this claim.
It was a LOT worse back when we only had a few rich people, the Melon's, Rockefeller's, the Rothchild's, etc.

"What about unionization?"
What about it?
I have seen unionization do nothing but raise prices and protect lazy do nothings.
Not every time but, a LOT of times.
