DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa is now the center of a heated debate between Wal-Mart and its outspoken critics.
The controversy is about providing good health care and wages to Wal-Mart workers.
It's happening in Iowa because of the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
Democratic Sen. Joe Biden is eyeing a presidential run.
On Wednesday, Biden headlined a news conference for a movement called Wake Up Wal-Mart.
"My problem is that I don't see any indication they care about the fate of middle-class people," Biden said.
Why Wal-Mart? Biden said it's because the retailer is the biggest.
