Slavery in all but name

Leaked documents reveal that the US government conspired with garment manufacturers like Levi's and Hanes to block a minimum wage law in Haiti that would have alleviated the poverty of many thousands of people and lifted the entire Haitian economy. At the same time, the US insists it's trying to help Haiti develop economically.

The higher minimum wage would surely have added pennies to the cost of a pair of jeans.

This report is from more than two years ago. I missed it first time around.
