Sometime between 1979 and 1980, Trump hired a contractor to demolish an old building in midtown Manhattan to make way for Trump Tower. The contractor signed on workers from a local union and, to meet Trump’s tight deadline, also brought on 200 undocumented laborers from Poland dubbed the "Polish Brigade."
The Polish employees were off-the-books, working 12-hour shifts seven days a week for $4 to $5 an hour, with no overtime. Some workers were never paid what they were owed.
In 1983, union members sued a union boss, Trump and his contractor for cheating the union out of pension and welfare funds by hiring the Polish Brigade. Trump owed the union pension fund $1 million, the plaintiffs said.
Appearing in court in 1990, Trump blamed the violations on the contractor and denied knowing that the Polish workers were undocumented.
"Nobody’s proven to me that they were were illegal," Trump said, according to a Newsday report from the time.
Nonetheless, Manhattan Judge Charles Stewart ruled against Trump a year later, saying that his representative "knew that the Polish workers were doing demolition work" and that his company participated in a "conspiracy" to cheat the union.
Trump owed the workers a little more than $325,000 plus interest and attorney’s fees and costs, Stewart ruled.
That wasn’t the end of it. Trump appealed and it would drag on for another decade.
In 1998, several members of the Polish Brigade told the
New York Times about their horrid working conditions. But Trump repeated that he didn’t know about the legal status of the Polish Brigade and said he would not settle the case out of court "on principle," according to the
New York Times.
If the case was retried and Trump lost again, he would have had to pay about $4 million, the
Times calculated.
A year later, Trump quietly settled,
according to the New York Daily News, but the agreement was placed under seal.
"It has been resolved on terms agreeable to both sides," labor lawyer Wendy Sloan, who represented the union members, told the
New York Daily News.

USA Freedom girls sue Trump campaign

The USA Freedom Kids who became a viral sensation after performing at a Trump rally in January are suing the Republican’s campaign for $15,000 in damages.
The lawsuit claims that the Trump campaign refused to reimburse the travel expenses for the girls in the singing troupe who performed their song, "Freedom's Call,” at a rally in Pensacola, Fla. The singing group was also not able to sell their merchandise at the event despite getting approval to do so, according to legal documents reviewed by
The Daily Beast.
“We are not able to pay the girls or cover travel,” Stephanie Scruggs, a regional field director for Trump’s campaign, wrote to founder of USA Freedom Kids Jeff Popick in January, according to the lawsuit.
“However we have coordinated with the event space to allow the girls to set up a table and pre-sell their album, shirts, etc if this is helpful to you.”
Popick agreed to fund the trip through merchandise sales, but says the group was never allowed to bring the merchandise into the rally. That merchandise was ultimately left outside and stolen, according to the lawsuit.
Trump's campaign also promised that the girls could perform several songs at another rally in Iowa, but declined to reimburse their travel expenses.
“They had said, well Iowa’s a pretty long distance for us to travel,” the lawyer representing the Freedom Kids, Marc Shapiro, said according to the report.
“There’s plane flights up there, and hotels and so forth, would you give us a stipend so that we can travel up there and perform. The Trump campaign said no, you would have to pay your own way.”
Several hours before the scheduled performance in Iowa, the Trump campaign said the girls were no longer needed at the rally.
“This is not an opportunistic thing where we’re suing
Donald Trump,” said Popick, who is the father of one of the girls in the group.
“We’re not suing for emotional distress and all that other stuff that people do when the trump up — no pun intended — when they trump up a lawsuit. That’s not what this is. This is tangible dollars I spent under false pretenses.”
Popick previously said the Trump campaign had
promised to pay $2,500 for the Pensacola performance, but acknowledged that the agreement was mostly verbal.
