Congratulations to Wal-Mart workers who've been awarded more than $170 million in compensation after being illegally denied lunch breaks.
Instead of courting free publicity by reminding shoppers of the sacrifices made by US troops overseas, perhaps Wal-Mart should focus more on the sacrifices made by its own workforce.
Average hourly wages at Wal-Mart are $9.68 -- $2.60 below the average for American retail workers.
In 2004, Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott earned $17.5 million in total compensation -- double the average for leading American CEOs (source Wal-Mart Watch)
