and they were "paid" with their work clothes. Oh, that's right. I think they were given plastic bags as raincoats. How kind of them to not take the clothes back, launder them, and give used clothes to the next group of unpaid laborers they "hire."

They were told up front they would be paid. It wasn't until they showed up that they were told they would not be paid.

Nothing excuses the lies used to sucker them in to free (slave) labor, and their subsequent treatment.
