Vegan Burger Chain Slutty Vegan Sued in Federal Court Over Unpaid Wages | Eater NY

"At the Fort Greene outpost at 690 Fulton Street (at South Portland Avenue) I report that three employees have filed a federal lawsuit alleging the restaurant denied them bonuses and overtime pay, resulting in thousands in losses; trainer Branden Cook says he was denied overtime and not reimbursed for uniform expenses after being required to wear a company polo five days a week but only being provided two shirts, while Davaughn Clarke and Latoya Adams say promised management bonuses never materialized, and Patch estimates the total withheld to be over $27,000. This location opened last September as the chain’s seventh outpost (and only its second outside Georgia at the time), drew fans who camped out for hours for its vegan burgers and fries, and is part of a rapidly expanding brand backed by investors including Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer; the company says it is reviewing the lawsuit and committed to complying with applicable laws, while founder Pinky Cole has denied involvement in day-to-day operations." - Luke Fortney
