US labor judge orders back-wages for Thai workers - CNBC: "LOS ANGELES - An administrative law judge has ordered a Los Angeles-based farm labor contractor to pay more than $340,000 for failing to properly treat and pay Thai farmworkers in Hawaii, the latest blow to a company that has faced federal government scrutiny for alleged human trafficking violations.
The U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday announced the May 6 ruling against Global Horizons Inc., whose president and other officials are facing criminal prosecution in Hawaii on accusations of exploiting Thai workers in what the FBI has called the country's largest human trafficking case.
The company also has been subject to at least four separate labor cases and a federal lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission."
