    Chinese Billionaires Clash Over Alibaba's Parcel Deliveries

    China’s wealthiest man, Jack Ma, has locked horns with the country’s fourth-richest in an escalating dispute over the lucrative business of shipping Alibaba’s parcels to millions of shoppers nationwide.

    Walmart Workers to Executives: We Can't Pay Our Bills

    At Walmart's (WMT) annual shareholders meeting on Friday, some employees took the stage to voice their grievances against the company about pay and advancement. "Today, I make over $10 an hour, and I appreciate that Walmart took this small step, but still too many of us are part-time, too many of us can't plan our lives or find the time to line up a second job or pay our bills," a three-year Walmart associate from North Carolina said at the meeting. The associate argued that many employees who work part-time wish to increase their hours and advance their career at Walmart with a full-time position, but the company instead hires more part-time workers. A Walmart spokesman said hourly full-time associates can earn as much as $24.70 an hour and on average full-time employees make $13.70 an hour.
