Virginia Laundry Businesses Alleged to Have Used Forced Labor in DOJ Indictment
While much of the media and our political leaders spend their time singing the sad song of employers claiming they cannot find anyone to work, the long list of forced labor, discrimination, and stolen wages continues unabated. This time, there is a new Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of some Virginia laundry companies for forced labor, money laundering (unironically), and other offenses. The forced labor allegations included a previously trafficked child of only 13 who was forced to work nights after school.
