Immigrants work 115 hours a week but make only $450 and fight for better wages.
Brooklyn, NY, July 2007 - They work 115 hours a week, earning under $4 dollars an hour. In New York City, where minimum wage is $7.15 and a studio apartment may cost $900 a month or more, workers at HWH Trading Company work in conditions that are closer to slavery than anything else.

Three Latino employees decided to unionize and join the Industrial Workers of the World in order to demand fair conditions. Their employer denies being their employer but asserts that they make $2000 per week.

Please watch the following video and decide for yourself where the truth lies.
