yet annudder outrage

Have you heard Wal-Mart's minimum wage in Mexico? $0 per hour.

Right now, 19,000 teens aged 14 to 16 work as grocery baggers at Wal-Mart stores in Mexico. These teenagers wear Wal-Mart uniforms and service Wal-Mart customers, but Wal-Mart doesn't pay them.

In order to sidestep international labor laws, Wal-Mart calls them "volunteers," and forces them to work only for tips.
