God forbid the public see the anonymous nature of business entities as the problem here - at least when seeking justice.
> The tribunal order was made against the company, not against Ali Ayad as an individual. So if Madbird was insolvent, like Ali said, there was no way the tribunal could force it to pay any of the owed wages.
- autoexec 5y agoExactly, corporations keep telling us they are people, but somehow they never face the kinds of consequences that actual people do. That said, I'd be surprised if there wasn't something Ali Ayad could be charged with directly.
- bsder 5y agoThat doesn't fly in California. Back wages are one of the few things that officers of a company can be found personally liable for.
- Lascaille 5y agoIncluding in the case of a Delaware corporation with offices in California?
- bsder 5y agoYes. Offices in California are governed by California labor law--otherwise companies could dodge things like the "non-competes are unenforceable" in California labor law. Even if you are a Delaware corporation for stock purposes, there is some paperwork that grants you reciprocity in California and allows you to operate there. As part of that, you are subject to certain California laws.
