None of those examples are illegal, and the presumption of criminality based on circumstantial evidence, especially in the case of a minority immigrant, looks far worse for you than it does for him.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI have done business with many immigrant groups, and I have no qualms assuming small businesses employing recent immigrants who aren’t fluent in local English are not following labor laws. Easiest ones to break are salaried “managers” that work 7 days a week manning gas stations.
- kyrieeschaton 7y agoWe have copious experience with this exact business model going back decades over several economic sectors and it's not hard to see where the structural cost advantages come from. If you are, eg, properly accounting for below-market loans as income (on either side), or rigorously following overtime requirements, or equal opportunity laws, your cost advantages rapidly go away. "Maybe we make the stores nice" is not some groundbreaking innovation.
