For 6 months now, the laid-off immigrant workers of Monster Cable have called for a fair severance from the company they made wealthy. Yet the “Head Monster” has
rejected appeals for dialogue from workers, over 45 labor unions, community organizations, and elected officials.

“He has proven himself to be untrustworthy. If he wants to improve his reputation in the community, he must meet with workers and resolve our demands.”
–Huilian Li, 8 years at Monster Cable.
