More Wage Violations

A New York City apparel factory cheated its workers out of $5.3 million, according to a state Labor Department complaint filed this week. In the complaint, the Labor Department says the factory, which produced apparel for Banana Republic, the Gap, Macy's, Urban Apparel and Victoria's Secret, failed to pay workers minimum wage, overtime and instructed workers to lie to government inspectors about working conditions. Inspectors characterized the factory as one of the worst sweatshops they had ever seen. Steven Greenhouse, The New York Times 07/24/2008
