A photo presumably snapped by a Walmart employee showing a company food drive to help associates who can't afford a Thanksgiving dinner is once again shining a light on Walmart's inadequate wages.

The photo, taken inside a Walmart store in Canton, Ohio, is being shared by OUR Walmart, a labor organization dedicated to unionizing Walmart associates through the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

The food drive brings attention to the fact that over half of Walmart employees make $25,000 a year or less. OUR Walmart, however, says the number is closer to $15,000. The federal poverty line currently stands at $23,550 for a four-person household.

Gawker points out the gross irony of it all:

"And, as some have noted, the food being donated by employees to employees will likely be purchased at Walmart, sending that money right back into the Walton family pockets.

Worst of all, the employees on the receiving end of their coworkers' generosity may not even get to enjoy the food with their families on Thanksgiving: Walmart announced last week it plans to open its doors at 6 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day — two hours earlier than last year — to accommodate Black Friday shoppers."
