"Pelosi moves to close Samoa wage loophole"
Too bad about later events.

From your link:

[The decision follows criticism over the exemption, reported earlier this
week by The Washington Times, to allow tuna canneries in American Samoa
to continue paying $3.26 an hour -- nearly $4 less than the $7.25 minimum
wage passed by the House Wednesday.

Republicans, after the vote, pointed out that StarKist Tuna, one of two
companies that employs about 75 percent of the Samoan work force, is
owned by Del Monte, which is headquartered in Mrs. Pelosi's San Francisco
district.

"Simply put: It is unethical to provide a special benefit to a company in
any member of Congress' hometown," said Rep. John B. Shadegg, Arizona
Republican. "For Democrats to act in such a manner so early on in their
tenure is hypocritical at best and criminal at worst." ]

And if nobody complained?
