    If retail work sets the living standard for so many low-income families, why doesn’t it get more attention?http://nyti.ms/2idJq2U

        You could start by pushing for living wages, decoupling healthcare for work, Medicare for all, collective bargaining rights for workers, a higher minimum wage, safer work environments, and taxes that reflect corporate earnings.

        Mosr people are unaware that Walmart's profit is just 3% of revenue, and a $15 mininum wage couks easily wipe that out. Also, if the CEOs compensation were distributed to all the company's employees, that would be about $6 for each of them.

        If you've WORKED retail, you know that it's not all just scan, bag, and stock. I push for promotions at every turn and STILL can't put food on the table. Retail takes just as much of a physical toll as mental. Being punished for being in pain and asking for a break is too common.

        Because attention on the pathetic wages of retail workers might hurt the employer's stock price.

        Maybe because it’s not a lot of money and that people are settling. No disrespect

        What kind of corporate greed apologist bullshit is this? Shitty dead end jobs like these are a DIRECT result of businesses trying to maximize profits for shareholders! This exploitation is decimating working class America.
