RAIDED FACTORY SETTLES OVERTIME LAWSUIT
November 19, 2008 by Bradley Maged.
According to an article on boston.com: “The former owner of a New Bedford leather goods factory raided by immigration officials early last year has settled a class-action lawsuit, agreeing to pay $850,000 to former employees who worked up to 16 hours a day but weren’t paid overtime.”
Our office has represented several immigrants to collect unpaid wages and overtime regardless of their immigration status. It is unlawful for employers to deny wages or overtime to workers for hours worked or to retaliate against them for attempting to enforce their workplace rights.

USCIS PROGRESSING TOWARD FY 2009 PROCESSING GOALS
November 19, 2008 by Bradley Maged.
According to the USCIS: ““In our 2007 fee rule we committed to improving service. In the months that followed we received a large surge of applications. Notwithstanding that surge, in Fiscal Year 2008 we began measuring our performance and backlog against the goals we set in the fee rule. Although we knew we could not reach them in FY 08 because of the large surge, we believed it was important to remain true to the commitments we made – and we did process 1.6 million more cases that we received during the year.”
