New Mexico AG Says Recruiter Preyed On Filipino Teachers
Law360 (January 5, 2021, 9:20 PM EST) New Mexico s attorney general accused a recruitment firm on Tuesday of preying on Filipino teachers, saying that through threats of litigation, the company forced exorbitant service fees on workers that were nearly four times what other recruiters charged.
Attorney General Hector Balderas filed the state court case against Total Teaching Solutions International Inc. and its CEO Janice Bickert, claiming they violated New Mexico s Unfair Practices Act through a slew of business practices, including the purported $15,000 service fees it charged to Filipino teachers placed in public schools.
