Nine immigrant workers are filing a $1.5 million lawsuit against a former employer in Brooklyn. The workers allege in the suit that Bushwick Food Bazaar fired them with out paying any wages or giving them tips. They are also alleging that they worked long hours and suffered from harassment. National Mobilization against Sweatshops has not released the residency status of the workers, but is arguing that it shouldn’t matter since all workers have the right to a minimum wage under federal and state labor laws.
