4. State whether the article is concerning one of the
following:
·
A potential
policy that is being considered to help a issue that individuals working in
retail.
5. This Bill
is a job killer it would affect many families that are now living check to
check. If this bill was passed it would scare away mostly every large retailer
that is now considering expanding in Washington.
6. If this law
is passed it would have more negative outcomes than positive. Yes, when we see
12.50 as a minimum wage in retail it’s an attention grabber, because as of now
in the retail department they are being paid 8.25 in Washington, other states
is 7.25. Yet this law would affect millions of families that are now living check
to check. It is believed that the only Wal-mart could afford this high wage,
the others are not going to be able to afford it and they may have to take
decisions that are going to affect their workers. Also I think that if this law
is process Wal-mart is going to lay off many workers and they are going to be
more concern of who they hired; more requisites are needed. Also nearly every
retailer that is thinking to expand in Washington would not go, if this bill
becomes law. So I believed that this law is going to hurt many families instead
of its intended purpose of helping families, this bill in my opinion is going
to be vetoed.
