Carwash workers across the country are routinely abused, intimidated and exploited. They are the face of the new American sweatshop.

Don't turn a blind eye to the abuse and the exploitation. Carwash workers, routinely subjected to health and safety hazards, often end up with severe kidney damage, respiratory problems and nerve deterioration. You can stop this!

Hasta la Vista baby!

@linkexchanggreg Err, I seriously doubt they are ALL from Mexico, Greg Chango. Down here in the Pt Loma area of San Diego, they are Brasilian, genius.

@linkexchanggreg Err, lack of capital.

@InoUnoInoUdontno So in other words, the car wash owners, or at least some of them, can say "screw Cal OSHA"? That is in fact what you are saying.

Sorry, if you don't like the job - get another one or make your own way. Stop whinning, improve yourselves and move up the job market to a job that deserves better pay and better benefits- a car wash job is not a career, these conditions should motivate you to move up, to seek better!

Bievenido a Estados Unidos. Querias un trabajo y ahora de quejas? Regresate a Mexico, me imagino que las condiciones estan peores alla.

Nada que ver aqui, sigan adelante, esto es tipico esclavos modernos.

My fellow country-persons. You're heartless & cruel.

Amazed Americans think ANY form of slave labor is acceptable. CORPORATIONS are breaking the law. Some critics of this piece have suggested all these workers are illegal. Even if they are illegal, you condone CORPORATIONS taking this action? PS: One can't collect social security unless one pays into it. There R illegals who pay into it but never collect. They know they'll get nabbed because it's on the radar they're using a dead person's ssn. Gov't is complicit to get $ into SS!

I'm amazed that Americans think ANY form of slave labor is acceptable. CORPORATIONS are breaking the law & you make the assumption all carwash workers are illegals. Even if they are illegal, you condone CORPORATIONS taking this action? You're bafoons. PS: One can't collect social security unless one pays into it. There R illegals who pay into it but never collect. They know they'll get nabbed because it's on the radar they're using a dead person's ssn. Gov't is complicit to get $ into SS!

If the USA Hispanic population’s in buying power is forecast to grow a whopping 48.1 percent to $1.6 trillion by 2016 . Why don't the Undocumented portion go back to Mexico and build massive car washes throughout the country.
