Employment agencies caught exploiting immigrants...
Agencies who exploited immigrants are now experiencing the big payback: "Five employment agencies have agreed to settle cases accusing them of sending immigrants to fill jobs paying less than minimum wage, state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said Tuesday. Spitzer is investigating about 20 other employment agencies, mostly in New York City, over the same issue, said spokeswoman Maritere Arce. State law prohibits employment agencies from knowingly sending applicants _ for a fee _ to jobs that pay less then the state and federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, or that don't pay overtime after 40 hours of work per week."
