'Let's talk a bit about minimum and overtime wages, since that is a topic so dear to everyone's heart.

Seamen on American vessels have to be paid minimum wages but seamen on other than American vessels need not be. So how fair is the Fair Labor Standards Act,' asks Sharmista Khobragade, diplomat Devyani Khobragade's sister.
