“Only the pillow can tell how many tears I shed. It has not been easy you know but I would not give up and even though they pay late and the money is small I bless God for it. When the day come I don’t have to send my daughter begging.”
Those were the words of a 42-year-old single woman employed as a security guard at a company that frequently pays its workers one month late. On any given month, she does not make more than $35,000, and uses that to take care of herself and her teenage daughter.
