22. Called the state labor board

Sat Jul 14, 2018, 05:50 PM

Jul 2018

I'm going to fill out a formal complaint online. I talked to another employee who says the company doesn't pay overtime.

One small step to defend workers rights!
The lady at the labor board was so nice and helpful too. She said not enough employees come forward because they're afraid of losing their job.

I have fallback income, so losing this job is not catastrophic to my family.

My hope is that the company can make the necessary and legal changes needed to keep them in business. We need employers. But we need employers who obey the law.
