As Wal-Mart faces vocal demands for better pay from some employees and labor activists, the massive retailer has volunteered to give a tiny raise to those who pick its tomatoes. The company last week agreed to join a Florida-based worker-rights program in which it will pay an additional penny per pound for tomatoes to support higher wages for tomato pickers. A penny per pound of produce isn't much of a commitment, even given the huge pile of tomatoes that Walmart sells.
