Group Sues Labor Dept. to Get Names of Workers
A suit filed by Interfaith Worker Justice, a group that mobilizes members of the clergy to help low-wage workers, seeks to compel the Department of Labor to turn over the names of nearly 100,000 workers known as 'unlocatables.' Many of them are Mexican immigrants who are owed a total of $32 million as part of back-wage settlements but who have not received their money because they cannot be located.
