A worker who was owed $3,305 in wages from her employer never recovered the money after the Texas Workforce Commission closed her case when the employer declared bankruptcy.
A worker developed a urinary tract infection after working 12-hour shifts at a child detention center without a bathroom break policy.
A domestic worker in The Woodlands worked 16 hour days without breaks at about $5 an hour while her employers withheld her passport and threatened to deport her should she try to leave.
These were among the 975 complaints the Fe y Justicia Worker Center received and documented between February 2018 and March 2019, according to a report released by the nonprofit on Wednesday.
Of these complaints, 623 were workplace abuse claims that could be referred to a labor agency or court. They ranged from wage theft cases to instances of labor trafficking.

Thanks for sharing this important report. It's shocking to see so many labor violations in Houston, and the stories are heartbreaking. I also play Escape Road 2 for fun.
The domestic worker's passport being withheld to prevent her from leaving is a clear case of labor trafficking. For those working with audio, checking out an ai music extender can be a practical way to enhance music production.
