Master Chef takes a bite of employee's wage pie. N.Y. Chef and TV star 'wines' about employees' claims he sipped thier tips to pay sommiliers.
Celebrity chef Joe Bastianich has been served twice with a dish he hates - wage and hour lawsuits. In a New York post article, Bastianich said that the restaurant industry is being shaken by frivolous wage lawsuits and "money-hungry lawyers" that are plaguing New York. This case shines a huge beam on the restaurant industry, where overtime and tip violations have been kept secret for a long time.
How dare an employee ask for their federally mandated overtime pay?
The two lawsuits claim employees were not paid overtime and that restaurants had illegal tip-sharing and tip-pool violations going on.
Bastianich went on to say that busboys, waiters and New York tipped workers are paid the "best restaurant wages in the world."
Sorry, chef, but that doesn't mean you can ignore federal overtime and minimum wage laws.
Bastianich: Annoying wage and tip laws shouldn't apply to him
