Walmart Mocks 'Nation' Over Low-Wages Paid to Interns

by John Nolte 7 Aug 2013 139 post a comment

The Daily Beast reports that Walmart is a little tired of being criticized over how much it pays its employees, especially by news outlets that regularly use no-wage or low-wage interns. In an open letter to Walmart, the left-leaning Nation called on the nation's largest private sector employer to raise the pay of its employees. Wednesday, Steve Restivo, senior director of communications for Walmart, fired back.

In an email with the subject header, “people who live in glass houses…”, Restivo wrote:

The Nation—“America’s leading progressive print and online magazine”—recently encouraged its readers to sign an open letter demanding that Walmart increase wages to $12/hour and this article called our company one of the “biggest abusers of low-wage labor.”

In an ironic twist, ProPublica recently reported that starting this fall, “interns at the Nation Institute will be paid minimum wage for the first time in the history of the 30-year-old program.” As ProPublica noted, The Nation has been paying its full-time interns a weekly stipend of $150 per week—less than the current federal minimum wage rate of $7.25 per hour.

According to the Daily Beast, Walmart pays its store employees an average of $12 to $13 an hour, which works out to around $25,000 a year.

the nation replies It seems The Nation now admits that raising employee pay means fewer jobs. After announcing it would begin paying these interns minimum wage, it said this: "We are using the renaming of the internship program as an opportunity to restructure. Rather than having web interns and print interns, as we do now, we're merging those positions. Nation interns will research and fact-check for the magazine, in addition to assisting with daily web projects on TheNation.com. Not only will this provide interns with a more diverse range of skills, we believe this reflects the increasingly integrated nature of print and web journalism, in general and in The Nation's newsroom. We are not yet certain how this will work out longterm but for the fall we are anticipating hiring ten interns rather than twelve.If we need more interns, we will revisit for the spring and hire accordingly."

Report: Obamacare May Raise Insurance Premiums 400 Percent Insurance companies are saying premiums could increase up to 400 percent as a result of Obamacare. WMDT reports: "The estimated increases would be tied to the cost of implementing the new regulations, taxes, fees, and mandates in the health care reform law," the anchor says. "The average increase is expected to be about 100 percent and could be as high as 400 percent, according to a report released on Monday."
