Walmart Raising Minimum Wage

224 Words1 Page

Walmart will be increased exposure of raising wages and high health insurance costs for all employees because the state government has increased the hourly minimum wage rate to $10.10 in 2017 and recently a number of U.S. cities have approved to increase minimum wage to $15 by 2020 (Emily & David, 2015). Even though, the corporation has announced its plan to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour in 2016, they still have to face protests from labor union of demanding to raise its wages immediately (Connor, 2015). Eventually, it will pose great dangers to Walmart as they have to incur additional costs to raise its employees’ wages in order to retain their best talent employees who manage to assist the corporation to deliver a great shopping experience

Parmar also goes on to explain how a local community removed Walmart. They were able to do this through the use of fierce union protests that made the store unprofitable.
