"...decreed that the Walmart employees were not entitled to be treated as one class -- because they worked in so many different places under myriad bosses -- the Supreme Court effectively reinforced the advantages of corporate scale..."

It essentially puts the corporation above the legal structure we have. Saving Wal-Mart is like saving the banks, they'll continue ripping the profits and making the Millions regardless.
