Indian Workers Go To U.N. Claiming Enslavement In The U.S.

Indian workers in the United States who believe they are victims of human trafficking and “modern-day slavery” take their case to the United Nations. Jesse Russell reports:

At the end of March the Indian workers who were brought to the United States to work in the shipyards for oil rig manufacturer Signal International marched from the Gulf Coast to Washington, DC. They met with the Indian ambassador to the United States and left dissatisfied with his response. The next plan? On Tuesday the workers met with United Nations High Commission for Human Rights Deputy Director Craig Makhabir explaining that they have been forced into slave like conditions and leading to the filing of a class action suit against Signal International. More than 100 workers are involved in the protest. They now plan to split there efforts with some workers staying in New York City and the others focusing their energy on Washington, DC and Mississippi. Signal has denied the accusations and has since suspended recruiting operations in India.
