Chipotle Sued Over Unpaid Wages
Two lawsuits alleging Chipotle engages in wage theft have
been filed by employees over the past few months. These suits allege that the
popular burrito chain routinely requires employees to work “off the clock,” even
when work continues long after pay has stopped. The employees who have brought
the suits claim they have been forced to clock out at the end of their scheduled
shifts, but required to continue performing tasks such as cleaning and
stocking, sometimes for hours at a time.
Wage and hour
issues have become a hot topic as more service industry employees begin
standing up for their rights. This important fight is not simply about pay for
work performed, but about human dignity and fair treatment for all working
people.
The civil rights attorneys at The Cochran Firm strongly
support this fight and are here to help ensure employees are protected against mistreatment.
If you believe you have been mistreated by your employer or have questions about
your rights, we would be happy to meet with you free of charge to discuss your
claim and help you determine if you have cause to file suit.
