A working man or woman in New York who puts in an honest day’s work expects and deserves an honest–and legal–day’s pay. It’s unforgiveable when employers fail–or outright refuse–to pay at least the legal minimum wage, or overtime, or who abuse break time and other workers’ rights. We fight against this illegal and immoral behaviour, and we don’t let our defendants off the hook until we have satisfaction for our clients.
