Even at 13 hours seven days a week that's only 91 hours a week. My last
job
worked that much or more. My friend who owns a restaurant works 115 hours
a
week. He will close for Christmas eve and Christmas day. That will be a
nice
break for him so he can see his kids.

Merry Christmas everyone! God Bless America!

Wal-Mart operates over 1,000 "secret" factories in China. One of these,
a
factory in Lungcheong, requires its workers to work 13 hour days, six to
seven days a week, for as little as 18-33 cents an hour - well below the
already abysmal Chinese minimum wage.
...
the Communist Chinese government is complicit in the human rights
violations
that occur on a regular basis at these factories, as they allow Wal-Mart
to
circumvent Chinese law.

If only any of this were true...the workers in the WalMart factories
make much more than most Chinese.

Could you make it on a WalMart salary?

Word!!
I'm totally with you on this man.
Everyone forced to work at Walmart, no wait, ANYWHERE, no matter their
position/function should demand and be provided whatever salary or
hourly rate of pay that they alone have pre-determined will allow them
to "make it".

Really, its so simple! This idea of mine could work my brothers and
sisters.
Lets get legs under this thing doods.
Its us against "The MAN" man. Right on!

Wait, I just thought it through Justin. Our next Eminem CD would
likely end up being about $275.50
Never mind.

More than 30 million Americans make $9.00 or less per hour. That's
just about poverty level. I'm not sure how many people there are in
the work force but 30 million is a far portion of the total.

That would pretty much be correct for a family of four based upon the 2004
stats: $18,850.

Say one wage earner at$9/h and a 40 hour week X 52 = 18720.

The poverty level in 2004 for an individual was $9,310.
