Chicago's city council has approved a measure that would force major American retailers to pay an increased minimum wage to their employees.
On Wednesday, Chicago’s City Council approved a groundbreaking measure requiring large retailers to pay employees a living wage. Retailers with over $1 billion dollars in sales will be required to pay workers at least ten dollars an hour plus three dollars in benefits by the year 2010. The vote makes Chicago the largest city with such a rule.
La risposta di Wal-Mart:"This vote sends a message that Chicago is closed for business, closed for development and closed for job creation."
