We studied Walmart in business school also. The company's foundation and orginal business strategy was great. Recently the company has had some bad press due to contractors that hired illegal aliens to work (usually building or cleaning crews for non 24 hour walmarts). The company has also lost some of the orginal values that were established by its late founder.
Unions are not necessarily a good or a bad thing; it truely depends on the leadership of the union. Some industries need unions to ensure the rights of unions, but some do not. If a company is run with employees best interest (since employees are a primary resourse of companies) then unions should not be needed.
