Greetings!

I also had big problems working for WORLD in Qingdao.

Please contact me for private comparing of notes and possible legal actions we can take.

I actually had a local law firm research the laws and build a case, but we have yet to file.

If more foreign teachers who've had trouble with WORLD get together, we may be able to have some affect, because WORLD breaks many Chinese laws, and is vulnerable to lawsuit for fraudulant contracts. (Their schools usually have no legal right to hire foreign teachers, and the "Foreign Expert Certificates" they obtain are usually illegal fakes because printed and issued by local and provincial government officials and not, as the law requires, by the SAFEA).

Please advise if you know any other FTs who have been similarly defrauded.

Let me hear from you at the e-mail address below.

Thanks,

--Ian
