Story:
An anonymous reader sends in news about a company that was fined for
flying in "about eight employees" from India to work 120-hour weeks for
$1.21 per hour. Electronics for Imaging paid several employees from India
as little as $1.21 an hour to help install computer systems at the
company's Fremont headquarters, federal labor officials said Wednesday.
"We are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior from employers," said
Susana Blanco, district director of the U.S. Labor Department's wage and
hour division in San Francisco.... An anonymous tip prompted the U.S.
Department of Labor to investigate the case, which resulted in more than
$40,000 in back wages paid to the eight employees and a fine of $3,500 for
Electronics for Imaging.
