My former employer, whouse to ship in illegals from the boarder states got sued and lost .... They need to pay out a set amount of 690,000 divided amoung the people that were employed at the time. On a good note, most of these people were illegals and from the routine they worked , most had false I.D. and possibley are not in the country any more .... I'm hoping this means I get a larger piece of the pie .
The company got sued for forcing people ( mostly illegals) to work with out breaks, cutting break times short, and punch out a few minutes before the end of shift so they would lose their 40 hr a week bounace pay. Most of these did not apply to me since I was a electrician & mechanic.
This is not the firsttime this company has been sued for this, so I tend to wonder if the rules for hiring illegals needs to be tuffer. Breaking it down, if the number of people that are able to recive the money is 320, broke down that is just over 2k each .

If people were to get paid a decent wage, then the company would need to pay outmore money directly. This is a sighn to me that not only does immigration need to controlled to keep wages up, it also need to be controlled so that Americans can be treated better in the work place.

angela R - this is not the first time I wrote about witnessing how the illegal immigrants damage the rights and wages of Americans. Like I said before illegals are disposable, you get carpal tunnle, you get fired ... no sympathy from the company ... and what can you do... your illegal, you'll be deported..
