Georgetown University student Erin Riordan wrote a piece for The Hoya , the school’s student-run newspaper, in support of the Large Retailer Accountability Act (LRAA) , which would raise the minimum wage for big-box retail employees to $12.50 an hour.To deal with this threat, Walmart dispatched Steven Restivo , a senior director of communications at Walmart, to write a responding op-ed.
