"Walmart workers currently make an average of $8.81 per hour, more than 25 percent less than at similar retailers, and the majority make less than $25,000. Taxpayers subsidize those low wages and poor benefits. A single 300-worker Walmart store accounts for between $900,000 and $1.7 million per year in public benefits costs for its workers.
By contrast, one of the company’s primary competitors, Costco, pays an average wage of $21.96 and enrolls nearly all of its workers in benefits programs. It reported a quarterly profit of $459 million last spring and of $617 million last summer."

The Senate Shouldn’t Stand in the Way of a Functioning NLRB | Economic Policy Institute
"The fact is, working Americans need a fully functioning NLRB, so we should be glad the Senate reached an agreement. But there was no reason, beyond blind allegiance to business interests, to block the president’s nominees to begin with. President Obama was right to act on this when the Senate wouldn’t. Block and Griffin are supremely qualified, yet they are paying the price for the Senate’s obstructionism."
