Huh… so were the employees told that their restaurant was also a church? They’re splitting a pool of $70k in damages? What were the damages exactly? “I told a fake priest stuff.” That’s damages? Sure, there’s fraud… but damages? I thought going to confession was free.
Sorry, I guess I have more questions than answers after reading that article.
“Investigators said the restaurant denied overtime pay to employees and illegally paid managers from the employee tip pool. The employers threatened employees with retaliation and immigration-related consequences for cooperating with investigators and fired one worker they believed had complained to the Labor Department.”
