[quote=Anonymous]Did not sound like hardly any PPs treated their au pairs as cultural ambassadors, did it? From cleaners, to stupid girls who mistook 35 hours for 50, to overgrown toddlers, with just occasional poorly laid extra chores? Hardly ambassadorial or family treatment?! PBS: Now, a lawsuit lodged on behalf of 90,000 current and former au pairs alleges sponsor agencies are exploiting the program as a source for cheap migrant labor. The suit claims that rather than being cultural ambassadors, au pairs are cheap migrant labor, exploited by a system that grossly underpays them for what amounts to ordinary domestic employment. The defendants in the suit are 15 of the 16 agencies charged with oversight of the program. [/quote]
