RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum is among those weighing in on Wal-Mart's attempts to open a store in New York City on a Fox News story examining the debate over the retailer's effect on communities and the economy.

According to Appelbaum, Wal-Mart's low wages and benefits create "poverty wage jobs," and not the kinds of jobs that help build communities.
