Filipino teachers in the United States.
The company is Universal Placement International. Among other complaints, the unions have accused the company of charging the teachers excessive, illegal placement fees.
In April, a state labor department judge ordered the company to refund fees that the union estimates will total $1.8 million. The company’s attorney said that ruling would be appealed.
