Quote:Walmart said that it would raise salaries for 40% of its staff to at least $9 per hour - $1.75 above the US minimum wage.

That hourly floor would be raised to at least $10 per hour by 1 February 2016.

[Wheee...don't spend it all in one place guys!]

and those motherfucking capitalist pigs on Wall Street react with predictable horror.

Quote:Shares in Walmart fell 2.8% in early trading on news of the employee programme.

So much for Wall Street investors being steely-eyed realists. It didn't occur to these nimrods that a pay increase (however humble it may be) might actually make Walmart a stronger company by helping it to retain current workers and cut down on wasteful spending to train new employees? You don't need an M.B.A. or a degree in finance to connect those dots.
