NY says Queens factory was illegal sweatshop

The state's labor commissioner says workers at the Jin Shun Inc. factory in Queens were shortchanged by $3 million since 2005. Most of the employees were Chinese immigrants.

Authorities say the factory workers put in 12-hour days, six or seven days a week, but weren't paid overtime or a proper minimum wage.

Officials say the owners also had workers keep two sets of time cards to hide their long hours.

A woman who answered the telephone Wednesday at a number listed for Jin Shun Inc. said, "wrong number" and hung up on a reporter.
