Welcome to the new America…

A former McDonald’s franchisee will pay out a six-figure settlement
after allegedly subjecting student guest workers to 25-hour shifts,
substandard housing and repeated retaliatory threats. The settlement,
announced Tuesday by the federal Department of Labor, includes $205,977
in damages and back pay to 291 workers, the majority of whom landed at
McDonald’s under the State Department’s J-1 visa program for “cultural
exchange.” Fifteen of those workers drew international attention and
support after mounting a surprise strike last March.
