In an attempt to rise out of sweatshop conditions, workers have engaged in strikes and protests, and have filed lawsuits complaining of minimum wage and overtime violations. 24 workers from 2 wholesale warehouses in Brooklyn were fired in the past month in retaliation for their union membership and immigration status. Workers need your support as they struggle to enforce minimum wage and demand their right to organize regardless of immigration status.
