"I report that the U.S. Department of Labor recently recovered $1.65 million in back wages and liquidated damages from Prapai Boonyindee, the owner of the Thai restaurant chain Ocha Classic (six locations), after he denied 83 workers overtime wages and kept false pay records in an attempt to hide the wage theft; Boonyindee was also fined $62,167 for the “willful nature” of his violations." - Cathy Chaplin
