1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald J. Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands.
The workers were paid as little as $4 an hour for their dangerous labor, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all. For almost 20 years, the terms of that settlement have remained a secret. But last week, the settlement documents were unsealed by Judge Loretta A. Preska, a U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District, in response to a 2016 motion filed by Time Inc. and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Judge Preska found that the public’s right to know of court proceedings in a class-action case was strengthened by the involvement of the “now-president of the United States.”
I don't care what party you vote with BUT when you vote for someone who says they want to bring back jobs to American, and you read about things like this. What part of your brain choose to ignore the fact that said party member is full of B.S?? And odds are said member is full if it every time their mouth opens. You can't this on another party you just can't!

It wouldn't surprise me if it was Trump, but I am curious.
Trump hired Kaszycki as the subcontractor. Kaszycki was the one who hired the Poles, the one who failed to properly equip them for the work they were doing and the one who failed to properly pay them. The Poles sued Kaszycki, since he was the one who did them dirty, and, since it was a Trump property they included the Trump Business in their suit, as they could have and should have.
There were plenty of stories going around like this one before Trump was elected. Trump supporters don't care.
He rips people off, he doesn't pay his contractors: we knew this already. Trump supporters don't care. He calls people names, supports alleged pedophiles, sends out inane twitter posts, embarrasses the nation. Trump supporters don't care.
