Stop Wal-Mart?

Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union recently made a statement that large retail stores, such as Wal-Mart, need to change their policies on payment of wages for employees. He said that Wal-Mart and other stores should pay employees enough that they will not need to struggle to get by. The union that he represents wants higher wages to allow for better living conditions for their employees.

Do you agree that stores like Wal-Mart should increase it's employees wages? If they do, how will that effect our economy? Will it be a positive or negatie change to our economy?
