It's not an ugly fight. You file with your labor board. They hold a hearing. There's no lawyers involved. The state will collect a penalty for every day late they were in paying you.
- crescentfresh 15y ago> You file with your labor board. Excuse my ignorance, but there was no union involved far as I can tell. What does this comment mean?
- colorado_hacker 15y agoNothing to do with unions, that's a reference to the state labor board that oversees the labor laws. Basically, if you are someone's employee with an agreement that you will do work for compensated, but then do not receive the compensation, the state can help get your wages. Here's Colorado's, the states are all similar: http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Page&cid=1249391304206&pagename=CDLE-LaborLaws%2FCDLELayout http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Page&cid=12493913...
- WalterBright 15y agoSince he was a contractor, not an employee, labor laws may not apply.
- shareme 15y agoPLus the aspect that he doesn't have citizenship
- lkrubner 15y agoI think WalterBright was responding to what I wrote about my own experience. I think you are talking about the Inc article, where Shaikh lacked citizenship.
- nknight 15y agoCitizenship is utterly irrelevant to labour law and, for that matter, most other legal issues. Even legality of presence is usually irrelevant.
- rprasad 15y agoLabor laws are not restricted to citizens or employees. Anyone who performs "labor" for someone else is protected by labor laws. However, some types of labor laws (such as overtime restrictions or worker's comp for injuries) may be limited to specific types of workers.
- lkrubner 15y agoYes, as someone else said, I was a contractor, so I don't think the labor board has any influence over this
