Don't you suppose that if the temporary workers were "licensed," so to speak, that at least minimum wage laws would apply? Oh, and did you report the immigration and employment law violations that you observed these employers commit to the authorities and press? I bet you didn't bother. Too much effort to actually do something about it yourself. (if you did do something and were blown away by the authorities, my apologies for being flip - if you didn't, then think about it).
that was your reply to my earlier post, that I came to CA trying to get work as a house painter, and the good ones really do make good money back east....and I couldn't find work since illegals had bottomed out the hourly wage payable in CA..
My answer: I was way to busy trying to find work. So,no I did not tell the authorities... They probably would have laughed anyway..
