From Gothamist:State Labor Department investigators who raided a clothing manufacturer in the garment district Tuesday night say sweatshop workers had been toiling to make dress uniforms for the NYPD. According to NY1, the department doesn't have a contract with the raided company, Forest Uniform Corp., but had been recommending officers privately buy their uniforms from them. Labor Department Commissioner Patricia Smith told reporters yesterday that the company has been cheating its 16 employees out of nearly $500,000 in overtime pay: "While the fake timecards show employees working 35 or 40 hours in a given workweek, the real ones told a much different story. Employees were found to be working 70 to 80 hours a week, sometimes without a day of rest."

the pigs did'nt know illeagals were making their uniforms? or they did and just turned a blind eye again? the owner, of course is not paying them the right pay, becuae everyone turns a blind eye!
The cops got a "good price" so why should they care.
The NYPD is beginning to get as bad as the perps they're supposed to be protecting us from.
I know you must not be talking about the 104th pct. because those "lesbians" don't do dick....
So ya know they don't get their uniforms dirty. Unless they spill jelly or coffee on them?
I don't think this incident has anything at all to do with the rank and file cops. The top brass at One Police Plaza are the ones who authorize these uniform tailors.
Maybe that tattood detective from the 109th was in on this.
