(5,252 posts)Within a few months, I was talking to others about wage theft. They were totally on board. Then they started to view me as dangerous.
We work in a right-wing paradise: my co-workers are straight out of school, eager to please, and saddled with $80,000 in student loans. That's why the company gets away with their practices. Or if they get sued, they settle and no one is the wiser.
I'm 49, don't have debt, don't have a wife, don't have children. I have much more freedom.
One of the first things the attorney said was "class action," but it would scare my coworkers to death. Attorney also said the office has too few people for a class action. I'm sure the company knows the exact number of employees to place at each office. We're way overworked for the number of people we serve, but I'm sure they won't hire more because of the threat of a class action law suit.
Like I said, Right-wing paradise dressed up as a benevolent not-for-profit.
