Local companies defraud workers By Carmen Cardinal, Kansas City Dos Mundos, MO
The union is adamant that they don’t want these 11 workers caught in the crossfire. Sometimes employees who don’t speak English sign the 1099s, unaware of the responsibilities they are bringing upon themselves.
“This involves someone coming forward,” Sanders said. “We need proof that individuals are being defrauded. I want to turn it around and create a unit for this purpose.”
He hopes to have one running in 60 days. Prosecuting a corporation would be problematic, however: One cannot put a corporation into jail.
