Wal-Mart executives say they embraced the new policies for a large number of their 1.3 million workers to better serve customers, the newspaper said.

i guess the walmart model has imported the concept of the value of workers from china. maybe some of the executives visited and marveled at how much more the company could make using even less expensive labor in the united states. while capitalism is good, is any value given to people that are not in the executive meeting rooms (where delightful paychecks, bonuses, and golden parachutes await all - be there good or poor perfomance)
