Walmart raises pay well above minimum wage - Feb. 19, 2015
Why should Walmart or any employer be obligated to pay a 'living wage' to any employee rather than pay what the job is worth to be done in the face of competition for the same skill set?
How would you establish a 'living wage' when the cost of living varies so much in every area of the country? |
I guess I used the wrong word with "living wage" as it seems to be a political hot potato. I don't think it is the salary paid as much as the avoidance of benefits. And yes, some prefer part time but most do not. I also do not begrudge the Waltons their wealth. I prefer not to shop there and I choose not to approve of their employment practices, even those changed WAY back in 2015.
