I remember sometime ago (a month or so) reading in the NYT about a suit against Wal-Mart in CA. It was specifically on the employment of undocumented workers and their mistreatment. Any specific reference to the case, including the press coverage, the background is appreciated, since I am in the process of putting together a presentation for several groups interested in learning more (and acting on) about similar practices on various college campuses. My intention is to draw a parallel between Wal-Mart and those subcontractors doing business with (neo)-liberal arts colleges, including my own.
The goal is to force college administrations adopting an employer code of conduct, and if needed accept even the financial responsibility, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the press coverage of the problems on my campus:
