Walmart will begin offering to subsidize college tuition for its U.S. workers
>Earlier this year, Walmart raised its base wage $2, to $11 an hour, and expanded its maternity and family leave benefitsWow, raising the wage combined with this tuition assistance makes it seem like Walmart is actually trying not be known as the worst employer out there anymore - these benefits are better than some of the retail jobs I used to work a few years ago. I wonder why they suddenly care? Walmart gets its customers because they have low prices (or at least successfully trick people into thinking they have low prices), the kind of people who value that are unlikely to stop shopping at Walmart because of the negative PR around how they (used to) treat their workers.
