In Los Angeles, the company Build Your Dreams, which is a Chinese based automobile manufacturer, is being accused of breaking its promise to use the millions it received from private and government investments to establish "living wages" for its employees. As a result, city officials are asking the company to provide documents on the wages that the company is currently paying its employees. Labor groups have also accused the company of failing to hire employees from the local community. Both the wage and local hiring initiative were outlined in a five year plan that the company signed five years ago.
