    It was recently brought to my attention, while being attacked for being part of a union and owning an EV, that the problem with America is employers treating employees too well.

      Punch that person in the face and tell them you’re welcome. If you have a full bladder, piss on their shoes as well.

    DWD determined that the 11 were owed $8,230 altogether. The lawsuit states Kruk’s failure to pay the back wages was “willful” and qualifies for a penalty of an additional 100% of the unpaid wages.

    Bro could have made this go away for $17,000 but instead chose to commit blatant fraud. He really ought to lose everything.

        If there was justice the owner would be getting arrested for theft.

      Are you serious about this?

      The business owner stole from his employees, and when they unioized and sued him to stop the theft, he destroyed his business rather than pay them what he owed.

      Are you really on the side of a theif and liar??
