Easy way around this: Wal-Mart could just fire all of its employees and then hire contract workers or temps from temp agencies that employ 9,999 statewide.

TIM BURCHETT = IDIOT

"It requires folks that have over 10,000 employees to provide some health insurance for their employees," the Knoxville Republican said Wednesday

This guy is a Republican?

Uh, and the judiciary. And criminal justice. And taxes. And....

Oh, sorry. You're probably one of those "not-a-dime's-worth-of-difference" Democrats who can't stomach your own party anymore but you just can't bring yourself to vote Republican because nobody in your family ever did, and so now you're a "libertarian". Am I right?

Exactly, and who will this bill hurt?

The poor people the Dem's claim to be helping as Walmart will maintain it's 3-4 percent profit margin no matter what, so when costs go up jobs go down.

"Fair Share"

Buzzwords for "punish success".

Wal Mart needs to play hardball and nip this socialist s**t in the bud!

Just issue a press statement...
The instant that the law is passed every wal mart employee in the state is out of a job...and if the law is then repealed they all go back to work.

Now another lesser company could not do something like that...but wal mart could.

If they make them do that, they should be allowed to reduce the wage to as low an hour as it needs to be to pay for it.
