New artical in the news. Yeah yeah slavery is shocking. I find it funny its not the white people keeping slaves this time. What was really of interest to me was this:

One of the workers arrived in the Sabhnanis' Muttontown home in 2002; the second came in 2005. The Sabhnanis immediately confiscated the servants' passports and other travel documents, the women testified.

Prosecutors suggest the women are due more than $1.1 million, including overtime, but defense attorneys said the figure should be much lower.

How the hell much do house keepers make these days?!? even if that is 1.1 million together, you got 3-4 years for one girl and 6-7 for the other. So maybe a total of 10 years. 1.1 million over 10 years, thats 110K a year. No fucking way! Not even with overtime. I'm in the wrong line of work that is for sure.
