Sen. Sanders, who's long accused Walmart of paying its employees 'starvation wages,' urged the company's top executives at the retail giant's annual shareholders' meeting on Wednesday to 'do the right thing' and pay workers a minimum wage of $15 an hour.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who's long accused Walmart of paying its employees"starvation wages," urged the company's top executives at the retail giant's annual shareholders' meeting on Wednesday to"do the right thing" and pay workers a minimum wage of $15 an hour.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, who made $24 million in 2018, was in attendance, but his reaction could not be seen on a livestream of the meeting. The wage hike, he said, is"not radical," noting that"many of Walmart's major competitors" have"already moved in that direction." That would include Amazon, which agreed to hike wages after prodding from Sanders.Walmart's executive vice president of global governance, Rachel Brand, said that"while we don't support this resolution," some of the issues raised by Sanders would be addressed later.
