Trafficking racket: Indian workers file case against US employer
Some 500 Indian workers caught in what they claim is a human trafficking racket have asked the Indian government to protect their families in India from vengeful recruiters even as they filed a class action anti-racketeering lawsuit in the US against their American employer...In one incident, the company sent in armed guards to apprehend the protesters in a pre-dawn raid, as a result of which he says he attempted suicide by cutting his own wrists. "I was desperate...I was ready to die," [former worker Sabulal Vijayan] says. Signal, on its part, denies all charges and say the company has gone out of its way to make the workers comfortable, spending up to $7 million to build plush new housing facilities.
