Take a look at the pictures on this page: EFI Senior Leadership.
Why should you look at them?
They are involved in this story:
Eight workers from India were paid as little as $1.21 an hour by a tech company in Fremont, Calif., over several months in late 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, as reported by the Associated Press.As a result the company, Electronics for Imaging, which specializes in printing technology, agreed to pay $43,000 in back wages and government penalties. Electronics for Imaging, or EFI, said in a prepared statement that it “unintentionally overlooked” U.S. labor law and has "taken steps to ensure that this type of administrative error does not reoccur."
The workers were transferred from Bangalore, India, to help the company move into a new headquarters building. They logged as many as 122 hours a week without overtime with some earning as little as $1.21 an hour. California’s minimum wage at the time was $8 an hour.
I guarantee you that these people have not been arrested, detained overnight or strip- or cavity- searched. Unlike an Indian diplomat several months ago. Remember this?None of the people of my persuasion (and there are a lot of us) object to the idea that Indian and other diplomats here in America should obey US labor law. What we objected to in the Khobragade case is the treatment accorded to the diplomat. As is evident in this case, the "equal justice for all" is still very aspirational. If you are white pink and wealthy, you get one treatment; everyone else is the child of a lesser god.
