[quote:Anonymous Coward 43160888:MV8yMzE0MDg0XzM5NDMyMjA2XzQ1RDM3QTdG] 22 is pretty darn good. But is that the inflated California wage market? Is it the same across the country? [/quote]

Interesting article, it shows that a company can pay well & still make a very nice profit
One company that hasn't had to deal with such strikes is Costco.
The no-frills warehouse chain pays its hourly workers an average of just over $20 an hour, compared to just under $13 at competitor Wal-Mart.
Costco seems to be investing some of those profits back into its employees.
Cesar Martinez, a 37-year-old fork lift operator, has worked at a Costco in North California for 19 years. He makes $22.82 an hour, gets health benefits and a pension plan. He manages to save, and doesn't worry about hospital bills for his daughter, who suffers from asthma.
"That's the reason why I've been here for so long," he said. "The company gives you a decent wage and treats you with respect and takes care of you. That's why we all give 100%."
