An Albany-area hospital was accused in a federal lawsuit on Tuesday of violating forced labor laws by recruiting hundreds of nurses from the Philippines to work there, but with a $20,000 penalty attached and a threat of deportation if they left the job within three years.
The New York State Nurses Association, a statewide union, sued Albany Medical Center on behalf of those employees Tuesday to invalidate the financial penalties of that contract.
