We have a minimum wage that people earn, it's not a hell of a lot but
it's better than letting employers do what they want.
There are also awards in place to define holiday pay and such.
Problem is that wages are not keeping up with inflation, a lot of which
is caused by increases in utilities

When Walmart is more exclusive than Harvard

New college admissions statistics reveal that it's easier to get into an
Ivy League college than to land a job at Walmart or Google. The eight Ivy
DIYers heaven (not just Mercedes DIYers) would be a Walmart on the
corner, a Home Depot to the right, an Ace Hardware to the left, and the

Philip,
A good plumber knows how to repair a copper pipe with water in it. Now, if it's
a pipe full of water, no, but a drip or trickle can be dealt with. I too had a
