Lawsuit to Protect Healthcare Workers from Forced Labor Practices

Berger Montague is investigating companies that force foreign healthcare workers to work by abusing the legal system, threatening to collect oppressive monetary penalties of tens of thousands of dollars if workers leave their jobs, and use restrictive provisions in their contracts.

We are currently filing suit against these companies under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

If you have worked with a foreign labor recruiter that uses these tactics to suppress wages, limits your ability to change jobs, or otherwise uses these abusive tactics please contact us.

Please use the form on this page or reach out directly to Mariyam Hussain at mhussain@bm.net or at 773.666.4316.
