Doesn’t Walmart still employ more people?

I agree with every you said, just thought Walmart still held the exploited labor crown.

I’m honestly not sure who employs more people, but I would imagine Walmart does since, despite all of their BS (their employees being paid so low they’re on food stamps so we, the taxpayer, are subsidizing their pay, union busting, etc), everyone working in Walmart is a Walmart employee.

Amazon uses a shit ton of subcontractors, in contrast, for a lot of their stuff. I was briefly a delivery driver for them, but officially worked for an LLC despite wearing an Amazon uniform and driving an Amazon van, delivering Amazon packages and having to adhere to all Amazon policies.

Walmart also has employed that same strategy many times over, often leaving entire towns with nowhere else to shop, including for groceries.

Then close the store, basically destroying the town.
