Could and should are two different things. What do Walmart shelf stockers do that makes them worthy of 15 an hour? Raise their pay then you have to raise the pay of the more experienced as well. Then prices go up and 1 of 2 things happen. Shoppers shop elsewhere or Walmart folds. What won't happen is upper management taking a pay cut to pay for the low level workers.

Then there is this quote from the founder, Sam Walton...Sam Walton always said this -- he said: "I pay low wages. I can take advantage of that. We're going to be successful, but the basis is a very low-wage, low-benefit model of employment". link
Labor organization/representation only works when the majority of workers recognize they have strength in numbers. Capitalism has historically resisted labor organization.
