Most retailers are probably like that, but Walmart always gets singled out. I worked for Kohl's, which pays less than Walmart, generally schedules weeks less than 30 hours and offers coverage that most cannot afford either. Same with Sears, except they pay a bit more, but base many of their departments on commissions.
One of the problems I have always had with unions is "seniority" over performance-the teacher's union is the biggest user of this protocol. In the private sector, your contribution to the job means something. In a union, you just have to survive layoffs.
