Report: Immigrant workers may be robbed of wages, forced into bad conditions
According to a report from Advocates for Human Rights, immigrants and other local workers in Minnesota might be working under oppressive conditions and being robbed of their wages. The organization issued the report, along with many recommendations to remedy the situation. Recommendations include raising awareness of labor trafficking and exploitation and providing support and services for victims. The organization is hoping their report will also encourage exploited workers to come forward, which will help the organization “better ID and measure” the worker exploitation issue in the state of Minnesota. Investigations conducted by the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division have been ongoing in Minnesota.
