About this case

About 600 Mexican workers allege that Hyundai Mobis, Kia Georgia, SPJ Connect, and Allswell recruited them for skilled engineering or technical positions in the United States but assigned them to assembly-line work, subjected them to extensive mandatory overtime, and paid them less than American-born workers. The federal case filed in Atlanta in 2022 reached an $11.5 million settlement before trial, and the settlement was approved by the court without an admission of liability.
