I'm not saying that conditions today are comparable, but it was a bad argument then and its a bad argument now. Just because you CAN get employees to work under sub-standard conditions doesn't mean that it is moral or acceptable.

well, i am not suggesting its right to take advantage of people either. what i am asking is if it is so bad, why dont those people vote with their feet and not work there?
if walmart (or any other bad company) cant attract and retain talent, they will change their ways. why dont people quit? i am just asking why they dont, not saying that Wal Mart is right.
i had a job a few years back and i hated it. every day i dreaded waking up to go work. so i quit. it paid me in the 6 figures, but i walked away because i couldnt stand the way they treated me. why do people let companies get away with sub standard conditions?
