** Oxfam America **
Working on a farm is hard work. Tomato Pickers earn about 40 to 50 CENTS for every 32 pound bucket they pick. According to Oxfam, this rate has not risen in 30 years! While other slum employers such as McDonald's have actually agreed to increase this pittance, Burger King has not.

FYI: Why Wal-Mart Sucks...
Wal-mart, you suck. I refuse to shop at your stores and I encourage everyone to shop elsewhere. And I am not alone in thinking that. Please join WakeUpWalMart and see for yourself the kind of discrimination, and harassment their employees and suppliers has to put up with and what YOU can do to stop this.
If that's not enough, here's a petition to protect employees from discrimination, not just at Wal-Mart but this is coming from a FORMER Wal-Mart Employee --> "Stephen Orr, a pharmacist at a Wal-Mart in Nebraska, was fired for taking lunch breaks to manage his diabetes."
Sign this petition and let your voices be heard!
