"A federal agency has recovered nearly $200,000 in unpaid wages and damages for dozens of employees of a Freeport pizzeria after investigators determined the restaurant failed to properly pay and protect its workers.
The U.S. Department of Labor found that Antonia’s Pizzeria failed to properly pay 36 workers their wages, falsified timecards to avoid paying overtime and allowed minors to work long hours in excess of the legal limits. The investigation also found that one underaged employee cleaned a hazardous meat slicer.
The department also resolved retaliation-related litigation with Antonia’s Inc. based on allegations that the restaurant’s management attempted to dissuade employees from providing the department with truthful information requested by investigators with the agency’s Wage and Hour Division."
