Tech Firm Fined For Paying Imported Workers $1.21 Per Hour
An anonymous reader sends in news about a company that was fined for flying in "about eight employees" from India to work 120-hour weeks for $1.21 per hour. Electronics for Imaging paid several employees from India as little as $1.21 an hour to help install computer systems at the company's Fremont headquarters, federal labor officials said Wednesday. "We are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior from employers," said Susana Blanco, district director of the U.S. Labor Department's wage and hour division in San Francisco.... An anonymous tip prompted the U.S. Department of Labor to investigate the case, which resulted in more than $40,000 in back wages paid to the eight employees and a fine of $3,500 for Electronics for Imaging.
What stolen wages? From who were wages stolen? The only thieves in this case are the government, who stole money from a company on a pretence that some 'wages were stolen'.
A bunch of Indian people are working in India, making Indian wages come to the USA to do some temporary installation work and they continue being paid Indian wages. What the fuck is wrong the AMERICA?
You can't handle the truth.
