I get so tired of these attacks against Walmart. If people don’t like what they pay, quit. I hear that Obama has this economy rockin’ so there should be plenty of alternatives.

Great response by Walmart.

They would all be making more money if the neo-aristocrats weren’t flooding the market with illegal immigrants and low-skill legal immigrants.

BUMP for Wal-Mart.

Isn’t the prevailing wage in “journalism” a bit higher than $7.25 an hour?

[Principled]

The Reason magazine will give its interns a significant raise and begin paying 7.25/hour this fall [ie less than Wal mart's avg wage pf 8.18/hr] and the fellow who runs the internship program noticed something about the increased wage:

“We are not yet certain how this will work out long term, but for the fall we are anticipating hiring ten interns rather than twelve.”

LOL

Sent an email? Hell, it should be posted at each register in all their stores.

"The Nation has been paying its full time interns a stipend of $150 per week-less than the current federal minimum wage rate of $7.25 per hour

Toward the end of the article it says they will try this new policy out, but, that they will only be hiring 10 rather than their usual 12 interns.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA HA!!!!

You just can't make this stuff up.

Hypocrite: (definition) See liberal, democrat.

The Nation has been paying its full-time interns a weekly stipend of $150 per week—less than the current federal minimum wage rate of $7.25 per hour.

On another thread yesterday someone (I wish I could cite who) stated that the reason for the zero or sub-minimum wage pay was to insure that the internships go to trust fund kids of the proper family background who don't need to be paid, rather than people struggling to get a job. People who need a job don't have or need the "proper" connections.

Which may be why in engineering internships I got paid twice or more the minimum wage. They didn't care about connections, they cared about having someone with technical skills doing some of the scut work to let the professionals focus on the high end work.

Raise the import tariffs.

Wal-mart will sell American made goods again once they are cheaper than imports.

The whole story at the source is fun to read, especially the last few sentences.

The surprising thing is that anyone is surprised anymore that liberals have double standards. They’re so cliche that way.

[relentlessly]

Walmart knows what they are doing. Thumps up!

[mellow velo]

The reason the progressives constantly attack anything to do with Walmart is because they are non-union. If Walmart would give in to Big Labor and organize their entire workforce, the sniping would cease.
