Donald J. Trump, owner of the Trump Organization, opens his Trump Tower in mid-town Manhattan, New York City. Trump hired 200 free-market (undocumented) workers from Poland to demolish the Bonwit Teller department store, to make way for his building. The Polish nationals worked “off the books” for four to five “dollars” per hour, 12 hours per day, seven days per week,—without overtime pay. When their work was complete Trump refused to pay them 325,000 “dollars” that he owed them.
NOTE: Trump’s companies have been involved in over 3,500 breach of contract lawsuits in which the Trump Organization has refused to honor its contractual commitments.
