Temporary Warehouse Workers Say They Were Underpaid

About a dozen temporary warehouse workers who said they were underpaid made a surprise visit Monday to the New Lenox temp agency that employs them, demanding to see billing paperwork they said would show they were not paid accordingly.
Warehouse Workers for Justice, which advocates on behalf of Chicago area warehouse workers, organized the gathering at Reliable Employee Staffing, which dispatches between 100 and 500 workers per day to local warehouses.
“We move those boxes and we’re the one with the power,” said Abraham Mwaura, of Warehouse Workers for Justice, before the group went inside to meet with Reliable officials.
