Imagine paying $3000 to visit America through a cultural exchange/guest-worker\\xa0program\\u2014and then being forced to live on a cot in a packed basement room, abused at work, and threatened with expulsion if you called out your boss... who owns both the McDonald\'s where you work and the basement where you live. He can get you kicked out of the country with a single phone call. Do you try to bear it? Or do you fight back? Today\'s guests took the latter option\\u2014with some help from labor organizing pioneer\\xa0Jess Kutch and her new organization, Coworker.org. Four guests, outrageous injustice, and a very satisfying ending... all on today\'s Flaming Sword of Justice.

In this episode: Jess Kutch, Coworker.org, the National Guestworker Alliance, the McDonald\'s Must Pay campaign
