Also, I went back and looked at David's statement..to make sure I didn't have to write a major retraction after contradicting him. He wrote: "The chains that have union contracts pay living wages with basic benefits and decent conditions, lifting their workers out of poverty in fair recompense for a hard day's work." Kroger's has a union contract and pays worse than HEB, which does not...to the best of my knowledge. This is, basically, independent of the fact that highly unionized industries like steel, auto, shipping, etc. pay far more than the average retail job. There may be exceptions with some localized highly unionized areas with relatively high salaries for retail, but overall...retail just does not pay front line employees very well at all.
