" the non-union retail giant Wal-Mart (with $443 billion in net sales in 2012, the largest private employer in the United States) "has in recent months been only hiring temporary workers."

 

 

Wal-Mart U.S. Chief Executive William Simon, " hours flex by the needs of the business from time to time,"

 

"an unstable temporary workforce could  cushion corporations  from a potential rise in health care costs next year."
