How does walmart contribute to who's welfare???
the question seems somehow incomplete or maybe it's because the context is missing. i have no idea what is trying to be asked here.
revised sorry guys
its seems that wages of Wal-mart employees are significantly lower than other competing retail stores
and all workers are ununionized

ok, so walmart contributes to the welfare (the well being) of it's employees because their lower wages and non union status allows walmart to hire MORE workers than they would have done IF they were unionized and the wages were higher.
how's that??
how's that??
Right! In fact, I've never seen a department store as OVER-staffed as walmart! It seems like for every customer in there, there is an employee. Well, that technique seems to work, 'cause I've never seen that much customers in a store before!!!:Q
They pay teenagers just enough to afford obnoxious speakers for their cars, which in turn drive around with their windows down and enrich the community with their phat beats.
they come in and offer lower prices until the smaller competitors go out of business and then jack them up, thereby "serving" the community a lot of pain
THey hire over a million people and pay a ton in taxes....
and provide cheap goods for the masses.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. That was actually a rhetorical question, but why would anyone stay with Wal-Mart if they could work for the competition? I guess there are always enough kids, part-timers and retirees to take jobs on a temporary basis.
people say they jack up the prices, but every wal-mart i've been too has always had the same prices. are their prices not nationwide? maybe it's because i've been to ones with regional competition.
here is a little summary i wrote
Wal-mart does not contribute to the welfare of the communities overall. Wal-mart?s employee wages are significantly lower than competition. Safeway and Kroger insisting that it is hard to remain competitive when Wal-Mart's wages and benefits are often 20 percent below theirs. Unionized Kroger workers, for example, earn an average of $14 to $17 an hour after three years, while such Wal-Mart workers often earn $10 to $12. Wal-mart is anti-union, although they do not admit, a recent court case ruled that a store manage violated unions laws. Wal-mart is a pollution monster in the U.S. The company violated many environmental laws, including polluting the river and streams because of rapid construction of new Wal-mart store. Recently they have been fined 1 million dollars for pollution. With rapid constructions of new Wal-mart stores, even in more urban area, with their competitive prices, many small businesses are forced to close down. Instead of money circulating around a community, dollars spent at Wal-Mart are plucked from the community and sent to corporate headquarters. Wal-Mart counters this argument by pointing to their "Community Give-Back" programs, but that is only a small percentage to its revenue
however it can be argued both ways, since that it provides more than 1 millions jobs worldwide, and it provide competitive prices
