Why I’m suing Chipotle for ‘wage theft’
“Her manager would tell her to “clock out” but continue working until all of her tasks were done, Turner says. So she would keep going, knowing that the extra hour — or two or even three — was free labor. […]
“After years of this, Turner pushed back. She was one of the first to sue Chipotle (CMG) for unpaid labor in 2013. Her case — Turner v. Chipotle — is now a class action lawsuit. Nearly 10,000 current and former workers have joined her lawsuit. They allege the company cheated them out of wages, a violation of America’s Fair Labor Standards Act.
“‘I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants. I’ve never experienced anything like that'”
Leah Turner says she worked hundreds — maybe thousands — of hours at Chipotle without getting paid. She’s one of nearly 10,000 workers suing Chipotle for wage theft.
