Burned: Rape, sexual assault and trafficking in LA's restaurant industry

Hosted by

If you’ve been listening to the show this month, you’ve heard KCRW’s deep dive into wage theft, injuries and retaliation at restaurants throughout LA. Cases of sexual assault and harassment in kitchens are often underreported, according to investigative reporter Karen Foshay, because victims tend to be immigrant women who are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs. It’s also incredibly difficult to uncover instances of labor trafficking in restaurants. Listen to the final installment of Foshay’s remarkable series, Burned: Abuse in LA’s Restaurant Industry. A quick warning here: this segment contains some graphic language.

Music: "Chocolate Lovely" by Amon Tobin
