A staffing agency that serves healthcare facilities in New York state was accused in a lawsuit by a nurse who immigrated to the United States from the Philippines of using hardball legal tactics to stop workers from quitting low-paying jobs.
Benzor Shem Vidal alleges that Advanced Care Staffing placed him to work at a facility in "brutal and dangerous conditions," including caring for 40 patients at once, and threatened him with serious financial harm if he tried to leave the company.
