On Wednesday, the New York Department of Labor cited a Queen's factory that produced clothing for Macy’s, Banana Republic and more for underpaying workers. According to the complaint by city officials, the factory employed mostly Chinese immigrants and cheated them of more than $3 million in pay. More than 10,000 items were marked by the labor department with tags that identify them as being produced by “underpaid workers.” Officials said the company “coached employees” in how to lie about what they were actually being paid.
