Jim Kaede Yasushi - December 31, 2022. - 4.7 C | 40.4 F The most common form of employee exploitation in nearly any industry is underpayment.

This is allegedly the case with La Casa workers, according to eye witness and first hand testimony. This month, I was approached by a La Casa worker who wishes to stay anonymous...
