Carwash Sweatshop

As I was flipping through some channels last night, I caught an interesting segement on one of those tv magazines (I think it was dateline). It was about the labor abuses by most car washing businesses. They often hire illegal aliens, working them excessively, and paying them next to nothing (or sometimes nothing at all - they get whatever tips they receive). So in other words, they are just like sweatshops.

Something to think about the next time you take your car to be washed. Maybe leave a bigger tip or maybe just wash the car yourself.
