How one federal judges in Texas, Andrew Hanen, helped half a million Americans to get higher wages
Posted on | February 20, 2015 | 3 Comments
As you know, Judge Hanen stopped Obama’s amnesty. Until now, the biggest push for amnesty came from the US oligarchs, billionaires and multimillionaires who sought an unending supply of cheap foreign labor. As Judge Hanen stopped the amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, large private employers were left with the need of filling the work places and their only choice right now, is to fill those jobs with American workers. Simple laws of free market economy kicked in, it’s all supply and demand. Supply went down, demand is the same, so the employers are forced to increase wages. It was announced today that Wall-mart will increase minimum wage for 500,000 of their employees from $7.25 to $9.00 per hour. This is over 20% increase. Wall-mart will still make healthy profits. This wage increase will cost 1 billion, however Wall-mart is making 16 billion a year, so Walton family and other shareholders will still make a good profit, but we will see an enormous relief for half a million of Wall-mart employees. Other companies are expected to follow. This is an example, how one judge with courage to go against out ruling class, our ruling billionaires and their puppet in the White House, could make a difference on the lives of so many Americans.

Wal-Mart, under pressure, boosts minimum U.S. wage to $9 an hour
Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) said it would raise entry-level wages to $9 an hour, a 24 percent increase from the U.S. minimum wage that some employees now earn, succumbing to longstanding pressure to pay its workforce more.
The world’s largest retailer said the increases would cost it $1 billion and impact 500,000 employees, or about 40 percent of its workforce, although the hike falls short of what some labor groups have been agitating for.
The move comes amid a growing debate in the U.S. over the widening gulf between the rich and low-income workers. Wal-Mart has been a prime target of critics who say its low-wages and inflexible scheduling are a big part of the problem.
The White House praised the move, pointing out that 17 states have already moved to boost their minimum wages above the federal level of $7.25 an hour and renewing its call on the Republican Congress to boost the wage on a national level. (more at the link)
