No need for parking lots there. But, even there they help arrange company buses to get workers to work, since they don't pay a livable wage.
You mostly agree! This is unbelievable. Employers aren't there to provide you with things like transporation. The role of businesses is to produce goods and services for the public to buy. They operate in a competitive environment which includes attracting and retaining employees. They pay, and provide benefits, to employees based on what the marketplace dictates. If they pay higher than market rates, they will not be profitable and competitive.
