No surprise there, Wall Mart is being sued over wage theft in Chicago.
I heard it on NPR, a short article in the New York Times (October 22, 2012).
This pattern of behavior is DEEPLY embedded in the corporate culture, if you can squeeze a couple of percentage points out of your labor, that goes straight to the bottom line. And these are the Minimum Wage/Barely above people, who have least experience fighting these pressures.
It's what made The Great Satan (of Retail) the dominant force it is.
