I used to wonder what sort of employment practices Ziba had considering most of the women seemed to be recent immigrants. Great to see that that the employees have resisted! Women who normally go to Ziba should show solidarity with the employees by protesting Ziba (not using their services) until they drop the defamation suit and meet SAN and the employees' demands. I hope SAN is advertising this widely... Good luck to the employees in their negotiation!

There is a need for South Asian network in many/allstates, otherwise this sort of abuse will be rampant.
