Mexico's Supreme Court rules against Wal-Mart's labor practices

Mexico's Supreme Court has been making some really interesting decisions lately. Last week they upheld Mexico City's law to provide access to abortion. Yesterday, they ruled in favor of a Wal-Mart employee in Mexico who brought a case against the corporation for its practice of providing store coupons in place of a portion of one's salary.  (English story here, Spanish here). The court likened Wal-Mart's practice to the old company stores that operated under the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz (1876-1910), that were subsequently outlawed with the 1917 constitution.
