Tell me, how is it that the Us department of labor, was supplied with Absolute proof, Check stubs showing far less than time 1/2 for hours over 40. Check stubs also showing less than weighted averages being payed for different rates at different jobs when computing Overtime.
They make it clear that they will investigate this because this is a clear violation of labor laws, based on the information given.
However oddly enough, once they begin their investigation, somehow they decide that-
"The allegation could not be substantiated" And based on the information provided, no violations could be disclosed.
Interestingly, they don't seem to feel it is neccesary to explain how the law allows the employer to not pay lawful overtime or weighted averages when computing overtime rates.
They just say 'nothing found'
"Oh yeah umm we were wrong in initially thinking that the information you provided showed a violation, umm yeah no violations were found"
Let it be known, that just because the law is written in clear english, The mighty dollar speaks more loudly than the law. Clearly This company payed off the investigator, and thats why her tune changed after speaking with the company. A lot of money was at stake for all the employees that were being payed below lawful overtime rates.
The richer are getting richer and the poorer are getting poorer people! This is yet another example of how our corrupt government is allowing this to happen!
