Mostly because Riggio fired most of the experienced staff last year.

If the suit is true, he's just finishing the job.
Bear in mind that his UK staff was protesting low salaries this year:

...and quit over the lack of action:

It doesn't sound like he links low salaries with the degrading of bookselling as a career, which is not what minimum wages are for.
For all the griping about Amazon, at least their salary floor is $15 these days. Still not career levels but it's nearly double the legal minimum.
