WAL-MART SUCKS SOUTH OF THE BORDER

From the New York Times via the Houston Chronicle:

But one profit-driving fact remains different in Mexico.

Wal-Mart officials say they treat their Mexican employees so well that the workers want no union, and that they pay their workers better than do their Mexican competitors.

However, in the United States, a unionized supermarket worker makes, on average, about $19 an hour. At Wal-Mart, where there are no unions, that worker makes about $9 an hour.

In Mexico, for a newly hired Wal-Mart cashier, the pay stub reads about $1.50 a hour.

Of course, Wal-Mart also claims that their American workers want no union. Here's the real question: does Wal-Mart's success south of the border mean that Mexico is becoming more like the US, or is it actually the other way around? Hard to say, if you ask me.
