| 0:00.0 | My entitled boss ends up in federal prison after he threatens to deport his employees and refuses |
| 0:05.5 | to pay people their proper wages. And I'm so happy to have played some kind of role in him getting |
| 0:10.3 | put in jail because this guy absolutely deserved it. Here's what happened. So I have a good friend |
| 0:15.3 | by the name of Mary that's not her real name. She is a sweet and caring mother of two young children. |
| 0:20.3 | She is also a widow and was an illegal immigrant. Now she came over here in early 2008 with her |
| 0:25.6 | husband and one year old daughter and she was pregnant with her second kid on the way. He worked |
| 0:30.4 | long hours as a field worker. Often 60 to 70 hours a week. They'd been in this country maybe half |

| 1:10.8 | they all had to work 48 hours a week and he didn't believe in overtime. He scheduled them for six |
| 1:16.0 | days a week regular time and there were no sick days and no vacation days. She came to me and asked |
| 1:21.6 | what to do. I informed her that what the boss was doing was very illegal. That he was violating |
| 1:26.8 | department of labor regulations and he was counting on her fear to keep her quiet and she then did one |
| 1:32.0 | of the bravest things I've ever seen in my life. She made that call to the department of labor |
| 1:36.9 | knowing that she could get fired and knowing that she and her children could get deported. |
| 1:41.2 | Well the department of labor came down and did an investigation and found that the boss owed his |
