But you are conveniently ignoring the stories showing these local businesses weren't paying any more or providing health care for their employees either. And you are also ignoring those stories showing where Walmart, as an anchor store, draws in and improves the economy of the area.

I know of people that work at WalMart that used to work at one of their unionized competitors and I asked them if they liked it better at Walmart and they said yes.

WalMart must have something going for it.

I agree in Baton Rouge, they had a good number of Walmart stores. Walmart contributed a lot to the local community and provided the college students from LSU and Southern University with part time and full time jobs. Some of them even secured higher positions within the company once they graduated from college. No Walmart is not perfect, but it is not the villain some people make it out to be.
