Too bad there is no context provided in this "news" story. I agree that mercury is very damaging. But where is the context of the value of their labor in this piece? To me $4/week sounds very low, but to it could mean live or death to these people. In other words they may be facing a choice of dying by starvation or dying by mercury poisoning. I just don't know and it would be nice if there was context provided to that aspect.
