Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And what would she have earned if she wasn't a captive of Walmart?
I mean, I am not a fan of Walmart but no one is holding a gun to their employees heads. "Captive of Walmart", lets get real.
And nothing is stopping an employee from going out and getting a better paying job after they learn the trade and have some experience.
"Captive of Walmart"? Walmart, for all its faults, isn't a prison. If there's another employer offering to pay more for her new skills, she could take that job earning more.
I don't know why you'd assume that any other business would be any different.
Walmart isn't intrinsically worse than any of the other businesses; they're just the best at what they do and all the losers who can't compete get mad.
Walmart suppresses wages so bad that they train people on arrival how to get in Medicaid and food programs.
Their existence is predicated on paying people so poorly that the company's existence is predicated on the availability of a public handout just to keep going.
So, yea, they are intrinsically (and measurably) worse than many employers.
"what they do" is drive down wages.
Yeah, this is what I mean.
That's not unique to walmart. All businesses, local or conglomerate, pride themselves on paying their employees peanuts.
This is the fault of the workers more than anything else. They can't work together to demand better compensation, so they get taken advantage of accordingly.
Lol
