Summary

Wisconsin-based Uline allegedly paid Mexican workers significantly less than their American counterparts while employing them in U.S. warehouses under a "shuttle program."

Workers from Mexico earned around $38 per day, while U.S. workers made $30–$35 per hour with benefits. The program used tourist and B1 visas, with workers allegedly instructed to misrepresent their purpose of travel.

Former employees also described harsh conditions for temporary workers, especially in freezing temperatures.

Uline, owned by major Trump donors, has not responded to inquiries about these allegations.
