Solid. The unions act like this is some forced labor camp or something. In seeing/reading articles of this type, the fundamental concept of capitalism is omitted - this is a business that exists to make money and repay its shareholders, not for the altruistic concept of taking care of its employees.

Companies regularly survey the labor market to determine their level of competitiveness in salary, benefits, etc. Wal-Mart (and other companies) make changes to their benefits and compensation packages when they determine that not doing so puts them at a competing disadvantage.
