where does it say that?

Post #124,625 by SpiceWare 11/7/03 12:37:47 PM Reply	where does it say that? I don't see anything about recordings in that article. I see "Wal-Mart must have known about these violations," said Gilberto Garcia, the immigrants' lawyer saying that Wal-Mart "must-have-known" is not the same as saying or proving that they "did-know". The law seems pretty clear that the employer is the one responsible for verifying Employement Eligibility(I-9). Even though these people worked in a Wal-Mart facility, they worked for the cleaning company.

That they knew the cleaners were illegal immigrants. Of course now the article is gone! Thanks Suntimes! Anyone have another source for this article? I found this one: [link\|http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsbiz/241bd1.htm\|http://www.dailysout.../dsbiz/241bd1.htm] The workers were members of cleaning crews hired by outside contractors, but federal law enforcement officials said Wal-Mart had direct knowledge of the immigration violations. They cited recordings of meetings and conversations among Wal-Mart executives, managers and contractors.

They cited recordings of meetings and conversations among Wal-Mart executives, managers and contractors. Of course Wal-Mart denies it, and claims they haven't seen the evidence yet to support it. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

In the October raid, federal agents searched the office of an executive at Wal-Mart's headquarters, carting away boxes of papers. Federal officials said prosecutors had wiretaps and recordings of conversations between Wal-Mart officials and subcontractors.

Hundreds of Mexican immigrants have sued three California supermarket chains, charging them with hiring contractors that never gave a night off, did not pay overtime and often paid less than the minimum wage. Any knowledge on how this lawsuit panned out?
