A workplace lawsuit filed by a group of immigrant laborers against a cleaning contractor popular with posh Strip restaurants is the latest controversy over how third-party operators conduct business in the strictly-regulated atmosphere of casinos.

They say they were promised $1,300 every two weeks but were paid far less, an average of $4.40 per hour.

They are NOT supposed to be here and certainly NOT supposed to be working here. Both are against the law. Neither do they have the paperwork to PROVE they have been working or working ALL those hours...Throw it out.

Charge the company with hiring illegal workers and fine them. Deport the illegal aliens. EASY

Order their employer to pay them off if they are owed money and their employer has it if they do not it is not our fault we should not make it up for them (Americans do not get paid for work they do sometimes) and then fire them and deport them.

I hope the court rules in the IA's favor.Make the Company pay back wages then arrest the IA's for Illegal presence in the USA,working without proper papers,tax evasion and identity theft.Fine them the money for back pay and deport all of them.

All involved should lose their ill gotten gains which would deter others.
