During Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate, Marco Rubio repeatedly attacked Donald Trump for his use of illegal immigrant labor to build Trump Tower.
A clip from “Trump: What’s The Deal?” explains more.
“The building of Trump Tower was the true art of the deal,” says the narrator. “Saving money was the key.”
“Chapter 1: hire the cheapest demolition contractor you can find, even though he has little experience. Trump hired William Kaszycki, whose principal business was window-washing. Kaszycki in turn hired what became known as the ‘Polish Brigade.’ More than 200 immigrants with no working papers, who were paid 1/3 the union rate, and worked under difficult conditions.”
A former labor negotiator for the Trump organization added that the workers “had no protective equipment, all the OSHA requirements were being ignored. They had no masks, they had no gloves. They were stripping wires with their bare hands—hot electrical wires.”
