The new Congress wishes to impose on all American business' a minimum wage increase, while I approve of this measure, there is one interesting tidbit.
Star Kiss Tuna, one of American Samoa 2 fish packing plants, which employ over 60% of the island population, are being exempted by Ms. Pellosi.
It seems that husband Paul owns a large share of Heinz corporation (see Sen. Kerry-Heinz,) which owns Star Kiss Tuna.
The federal labor law as written will keep the minimum wage under $4.00 for the fish packing industry.
