4:44 am
charges are the result of a six month investigation. i can tell you that they're migrant workers your victims from indonesia. the charges relate to the extortion of money from the workers being employed and we need to. entice them out oh you heard the word exploitation. in which is absolutely no such a stricken place through the restriction. what will be the legacy threat that they didn't pay to be distant or people did not make those threats did not make those threats would not strikes but our clients would by no means threaten to send these people. or to revoke their visas or to do it with a shortfall so if you come over in six thousand to ninety dollars that's going to be able nobody gets there contractually bound to pay you and we cover here for the covers their application for their work permit in accommodation costs which it's
4:45 am
tied to. it's a question about reprieve and things aren't paid legal these workers are alleging that they were charged now we're in no no no no there's no such thing as a recruiting role no one said the word recruitment feat and number two there are causes mr miller's looking for. airplane travel there is an application fee to beat that's been paid to get a ration of thinkers in corners and in need not in this instance but and it's important with the employer did not hear you sure you didn't pay the airplane fare in this case. there's going to be an awful. if you go for. choose me.
4:46 am
i will begin to loosen up again the not must never come on when in your god did not all you have written to block a ballad to go up but marry up a big hundred of isa no i'm up early don't miss i'm not i'm not don't want oh you come to buy at me that what i'm talking about be sung by god did madness made it right out about to open up the receiver do gotta get the classical behind them and get it but they do go they did that by now. a little nestle oh yeah. rock.
4:47 am
we nearly had wanting. not us this morning room but because now that i'm in a. most milan found out if. i can any. jet is a my get the the me because you get that at the news that. doesn't but. has but. when i wanted to next need to going effect you have again and you mean anything to explain as i meant to. give the asking what we can begin with a thought of it. there are hundreds of valley women who came last night right after they finished at work and then were notified four million by the employer that they were without status and had been so for two weeks. according
4:48 am
to the woman the employer said that he had never applied for. the what is called the l m i. so they don't understand that by any apply why would he not tell us back in december when he said he applied. a lot of questions they were also which is very surprising to me is that they're adamant that they wanted to go ahead with the lawsuit and now they can now you call the lawyer and so they had to call the lawyer or they the club yeah they rate their two calls he didn't answer call again and oh yea. how are you running right. ok you can't kill me hear the tape. oh i'm. going to talk to you both the preacher. who was
4:49 am
we applied for an extension for everybody's coming. closer. work permit came back here didn't accept. so what this means is we have to have. reapply. one more time sixty ninety days to reapply. for ninety days you kill. or the other option. is you go back to the division. we can reapply it's an option if you want to do that the problem is related if you can't work out or. hope no. i don't know who that struck me for your money. what's your feeling where you live what you know whether their. home was the only. thing they. did and that is now a city or three hundred dollars they can refuse again i don't know. but one of the
4:50 am
back i think is the point if that's the wrong. state then we can arrange that whenever you want. ok but you have to make a decision sure going. so one should think about to talk to girls and we can discuss this with the hood over there so what i would want to know is when did you know about that in iowa and then why didn't you tell us as soon as you knew why did you wait two weeks and then have you work two weeks without status i think not everything is being told i understand that you need to eat you need to pay rent you need to pay medical bills and you have found leaves and children back home so i understand that there is a need for money but i just want you to know that if you decide to work for cash somewhere and then the immigration picks you want then i can't do anything.
4:51 am
they have been tricked into illegality not just force they've been tricked into illegality the employer tells you that it's ok that you're fine don't worry because don't worry and meanwhile the employer knows very well that the papers that are necessary. to insure your status hasn't even been. absent from files that i think about the steps in the federal government has not provided any support centers any places where my coworkers can go and see what is happening what are my rights so they're really left at the mercy of employers and i think that this is by design i don't think that is just an oversight is a misstep and the government hasn't thought about it i think their vulnerability is constructed. this is just one of the groups that we happen to meet they're not
4:52 am
special they're not unique and there are multiple hundreds and hundreds of stories there were stories out there. it's not hard to find it's all around this area all of us through this program. and your book of the employer did not apply to reducing the status and manhood and that is that the beginning of the s. and m. but i think that if. you talk about wanting to sue the green house for overtime fixation. and also for the agency. we have heard or who has done a similar lawsuit and there were sixty temporary for workers that anyone's in british columbia who were agencies they were not getting paid for over time.
4:53 am
they settled they got back a lot of. their other cases that area of theirs they were but this would be one of the first ones for people were angry. when i. got a long story but it's a one story. you know and the gunmen were glad. it's a clinic thing to. have been a little bit of we're not. going to be going to the minimum i'm going to do and that my vote is if you can but it doesn't say what i. will not give. you. if. i'm going to miss summerson.
4:54 am
they're going to put two i'm going to. get another. and seven they had going to the second i'm going to have them and they be saying you mean don't believe. it when i'm going to give him that. she. was going to have a gun won't get done. that i wouldn't do that and that that. machine the alchemy if you knew that i'm old and had a while. but never did if i was on your way. there we go i feel now bad that i'm get to. get that done and visit me that and then he said you do miss your
4:55 am
dialect gotta get up we're not sure that it got to be seen that you can get one down. in me that i know about was about order now don't want to give me one at the market now and you can go. no matter. how many on that there will be a number. and another man in boston was folly. step one i'm in a minute. and a man and and small burning yet. gun then you can do it and you can not move. and i can't and i need mind yours but the me. the you can post once i want to run. or not so i'm not going to.
