Unions hate Wal-Mart, accusing the world’s No. 1 retailer of paying paltry wages and making workers spend too much on health care. Few would describe working as a Wal-Mart greeter as a dream job, but a union protesting work conditions at a Wal-Mart store in Nevada is giving the chain a run for its money, according to Las Vegas Weekly: Temp protesters, hired by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union to carry anti-Wal-Mart placards in the 104-degree heat, earn a measly $6 an hour, with no benefits at all. “It don’t make no sense, does it?” said one picketer. “We’re sacrificing for the people who work in there, and they don’t even know it.” Another rent-a-protester, who worked for Wal-Mart in the past, had few harsh words for his former employer. “I can’t complain,” he said. “It wasn’t bad.”
