You are correct.......there are plenty of Vendors using H1B workers that provide services for Walmart, ie; computer systems, shipping, etc.

But Walmart itself still maintains a strong southern accent at Home Office.

What does that even mean? Walmart's labor practices are hunky-dory as long as HO is 50%+1 American?

Look, if you hate Walmart

Red herring - what I hate is the suppression of American wages with foreign labor

Your Pro-Union talking points expose your motivation.

Getting information from a union site is not "Pro-Union talking points" nor does it prove anything about my motivation - it was the first link the search engine showed with the info I was looking for.

As I said: If you have a more reliable source of info, let's see it. So far all you've put on the table is sourceless and dubious claims.

The annualized increase for the minimum wages shown below is as shown.
$8.00: 0.857%
$9.00: 1.893%
$10.00: 2.828%
$11.00: 3.681%
$12.00: 4.466%
$13.00: 5.194%
$14.00: 5.872%
$15.00: 6.508%

Inflation over the last 11.5 years since the federal minimum wage was last raise, has been under 3.000%. Any increase above $10.00 an hour cannot be justified.

An increase in the federal minimum wage to the proposed $15.00 an hour is ludicrous. I know of no one who has received a 6.508% annual increase in pay in the same job over that period of time.

The Dims do not realize there is a natural minimum wage and a mandated minimum wage. If the mandated minimum wage is raised too hig, the natural minimum wage of $0.00 per hour for no hours worked comes into play.

We have the Dims again trying to buy votes!
