Why is it that Target and Walmart are offering part-time Holiday help more than day cares will pay their teachers?

@MorbidCynic Good point, but definitely not a morale booster to teachers who work far more hours than they're paid for and spend their own money on supplies, etc.

That’s their fault for getting into that field then. Go work at Walmart, @FigNewton

@MorbidCynic Do you think that teachers deserve a pay grade lower than a Walmart employee? Or the same? Or more? I know both work hard...I'm not trying to degrade one over the other, but if daycares pay less and teachers leave to go to Walmart, who's left to teach the kids?

Walmart and Target are private organizations, no one should tell them what they should pay their employees. It shouldn’t be compared to teachers who chose to work as one. @FigNewton

@FigNewton You are wrong on the lower pay grade than Walmart...Walmart pays $11 an hour and only part time hours (it might be higher in some remote areas but the $11ph is across the board). Walmart employees are getting screwed royally. I cannot speak for Target, but I do know Walmart because I worked there.

@indyjoe You may be right on Walmart as I only saw the sign at Target offering $15. And I agree they're being screwed as well at $11.

@FigNewton It's not just the $11...The few full timers they still have lost any raises they worked years to get because of the $11 change, the 10% employee discount was taken from them, hours for them were cut to from 8 to 18 hours a week, and employees are working several different department at once Walmart is getting more work for less pay...something they actually put in a press release. Sam Walton would be spinning in his grave if he could see what has become of his company.
