ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO SUE
WAL-MART FOR LABOR VIOLATIONS
Thu Nov 06 2003 10:51:20 ET
Nine
Mexican immigrants who worked as janitors at Wal-Marts in New Jersey are ready
to sue the company, accusing Wal-Mart and its cleaning contractors of failing
to pay overtime, withhold taxes and make required workers' compensation
contributions!
The plaintiffs, who face deportation for being illegal
immigrants, also accuse Wal-Mart and its contractors of discriminating against
them by giving them lower wages and fewer benefits than other workers because
of their national origin. The nine Mexicans were among 250 people arrested for
being illegal immigrants in an Oct. 23 federal raid on 60 Wal-Marts in 21
states.
The lawsuit, the first to be filed by immigrants arrested in
the raid, said that Wal-Mart should be held accountable for its contractors'
wage and hour violations.
