Catalina Restaurant Owners Face Prison Time for Underpaying and Overworking Employees | Eater LA

"Facing felony grand labor and wage theft charges brought by District Attorney George Gascón, the owners of Original Antonio’s Pizzeria and Deli on Catalina Island are accused of withholding over $1.5 million in wages while expecting employees to work 18-hour days; prosecutors say the couple could face up to 22 years in prison. California’s Labor Commissioner began investigating the businesses in 2017 and found employees were frequently underpaid, worked long hours, and were forced to clock out early to avoid paying overtime, and many of the victims were reported to be immigrants living on the Tuceys’ property." - Mona Holmes
