I could say the same thing about getting a job in a GM plant in Detroit. Most of those guys have just a high school education, the rest of the training is provided by the company.
They make $27 an hour.
It doesn't take alot of brains to be a flight attendant or a baggage handler either but those people get paid well because they have the right to bargain collectively for their wages and benefits.
If Wal-Mart is allowed to use its buying power to get lower prices from suppliers then why can't Wal-Mart's workers use their "collective labor power" to get better wages and benefits?
Seems like a double standard to me.
