I worked hard for Imperial Cleaners...When they asked me to work more, I said yes. When they asked me if I knew anyone that they could hire, I said yes and they hired my cousin. It was only when I started standing up for myself and others, they started to target me. I learned the painful truth that hard work does not mean respect or fair treatment.
