The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has launched an investigation into the working conditions at several hotels where workers are on strike.
The investigation was sparked by claims that migrant workers are being underpaid off the books, and that children may also be part of the workforce being used to replace those striking workers.
"We want to make sure that those who are vulnerable are being provided the support that the laws of this country provides," he said. "Employers have sunk to a new low, bringing in workers who are refugees to this country to attempt to break our strike. But we aren't going to let that happen," said the union's Juan Munoz-Guevara.
