Like hell they do.Wal Mart destroys small businesses.
They do. They drive them out of business. Shit made in China brought here and sold cheap as hell small businesses can't keep up.
You're making the assumption that DC residents want a Walmart in their neighborhood, and disagree with this law.
Walmart has been trying to build a store in NYC for decades, but the city won't let them, making similar laws to the DC to keep Walmart out.
Those laws and policies are overwhelmingly supported by New Yorkers.
And yet they allowed K-Mart in.
There's no limit to human stupidity.
Yeah, Target too.
But they pay a wage set higher than NY's minimum wage, I believe.
Yes I foolishly made the assumption that DC would want to improve their econoies and create jobs among them as well as have a source of inexpensive goods they need to live.
Your definition of "jobs" & mine differ greatly. In this case, "job" means hawking wares made overseas further undercutting the us manufacturing base.
It's not just Walmart...It's all stores that require a certain amount of square footage AND make over a Billion dollars a year

Please explain why there is a minimum wage if employers are not allowed to pay it.
Go ahead. This should be good.
As I said, there is no limit to human stupidity.
Yeah, Obamacare ruined Walmart's otherwise stellar employee satisfaction record.
Stick your head back in the sand. At least then when you talk out of your ass it will look normal.
You surprise me. I would have thought that as an independent contractor, you'd be on the side of all the mom-and-pop stores that will be decimated by Walmart coming into their areas. You don't think that the Walmart jobs will come about without that kind of fallout do you?
How would you feel if some mega-corporation took aim at the contracting business? Maybe it wouldn't be all bad - they might at least return a phone call - but I'd actually hate to see that happen.
Walmart's pay policy has contributed to the era of flat wages which effects just about everyone's wages in the working class in all sectors, including many of our posters.
But what the hell, they provide cheap merchandise that isn't made in the US and the inferior merchandise made cheap so it's longevity is nice and short. That guarantees Walmart repeat business so they can sell more crap that doesn't last.

why don't you just change your nic to "Fox news mouthpiece"? You're THAT transparent. That, or you know little in the area that you're expounding upon
My city voted down a Wal Mart last year, would have given jobs to 800 people in one of our poorest neighborhoods. There are two other Wal Marts on either side of town, but not close enough for these people. Given that my city is majorly liberal, I was not surprised. Turns out as it may, that Liberals wish to keep people poor and reliant on the government instead of on their own effort. I find that to be pretty sad in earnest. Wtf liberals? Just wtf are you thinking? You want to fight poverty by encouraging it. How does that work? You encourage independence by causing dependence. Seriously, what the actual fuck people?
Sigh....
My city supported a Walmart going in, though we had alot of opposition from neighboring towns who had absolutely no business determining what companies went into our city.
The shopping center which Walmart went into was previously dead, now it's packed with shoppers. The surrounding stores are benefiting from a previously unused space being used and there are plenty of new jobs and better prices for consumers.
Ive seen zero negative problems coming from Walmart.

I have made tens of thousands of dollars doing new Walmarts and Pier 1 Imports.
You seem to think that the only jobs at Walmart are cashier jobs. There are hundreds of jobs tied to each store that don't work within.

Walmart is being singled out. The government is trying to force Walmart to pay a higher wage than what that same government has established as a minimum wage!
Please explain.
What magical properties do the dollars paid by Walmart possess which require more of them be paid out than has been established by law for everyone else?

The bigger impact on flat wages is lack of economic growth. When there is an excess supply of labor, wages suffer.
Our government has done far more to cause this flattening than any one business.
Like hell they do.Wal Mart destroys small businesses.
What DC doesn't need is a monster like WalMart that opens up in town, closes down the competing stores..and provides 1800 "jobs" lost from the places they closed down at lower wages and no benefits placing a greater burden on government resources.

Walmart employees (excuse me..associates) having to use food stamps and emergency rooms?
