A group of 30 supermarket employees in Brooklyn, NY, finally confronted their nightmare by filing a Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuit against Master Food. Employees claimed that the supermarket paid some workers about $3 an hour and never paid overtime. Some workers put in 12-hour days, six and seven days a week. That's 84 hours of stocking shelves and bagging groceries in a single week!
Employees felt trapped and powerless
Workers win back wages with added bonus: Union contract
The supermarket employees received $300,000 in back wages and also cinched a union contract guaranteeing minimum wage, overtime, paid vacation, and sick days.
Wake-up call for employees nationwide
In a tough economy, the last thing most people want to do is make any waves at work. But this case proves that when workers speak up and demand fair wages, they force their employers to pay. Most people don't know that they don't have to accept unfair wages. Help is out there.
