Seriously? Have any links?
That sounds like some Qatar shit.
Fucking hell. Some highlights...
90 labourers removed from site by US federal agencies. In lawsuit, 6 workers alleged they were paid merely 10% of hourly minimum wage, forced to live in gruelling conditions... They allege that they were paid $1 per hour for their work when the minimum wage in New Jersey is $12 per hour... the workers were allegedly brought to the US on R-1 Visas that are applicable for clergy and religious workers like missionaries. The labourers were presented to the US government like volunteers... the workers’ passports had been confiscated, they were given lentils and potatoes for meals and that their pay was cut for the smallest of violations such as being seen without a helmet.
IF YOU LOVE YOUR RELIGION YOU WILL DO FREE LABOR.
YOU DO LOVE YOUR RELIGION, DONT YOU?
I wonder if a specific group provided this "religious service."
I'm pretty sure it was Hindus, I kinda doubt babtists would build a Hindu temple.
I was implying a certain caste, as there is some labour dispute around the construction.
