Applying which laws?
Wow, you're really going to plant your flag in that position, aren't you?

Applying which laws?
Domino's inc will get their part thrown out. as they have nothing to do with it.
the franchisers on the other hand very much will be responsible for paying back wages.
that is how the suit should go.
that is if the judge decides to follow the law.
Actually, wage theft is pretty common, and has been around for decades. When I was a kid in high school, I worked part time at a Big Boy's restaurant washing dishes. One night, the dishwasher broke, and instead of sending me home, the manager told me to stick around and wait. instead of waiting, I repaired the dishwasher. The manager told me I wasn't going to be paid for any of the time, about 2 hours, that I wasn't actually washing dishes, even though I had just saved him a ton of money by fixing it myself. My father talked to his lawyer, who recommended that I file a complaint with the Labor Relations Management Board, which I did. I got fired for doing so, but I won my complaint, and got paid for the time I missed, along with some of the time I didn't work because I had been fired (That was about 16 more hours). Turns out that the company also got into trouble for retaliating against me for filing the complaint. As for being fired, I just got a job someplace else. Felt pretty good to put that asshole in his place.
I'm not saying Dominos is innocent, I'm saying that anyone can be accused of anything. It doesn't make them actually guilty. That comes after the case has been heard in court and decided upon by either a judge or a jury.

Bingo.Well, sure, of course we have to wait to see if the facts actually support the accusation. The thread did take a weird little turn though where simply that accusation was grouped under "hostile to business." Some people in this thread appear to be operating under the belief that if you want to be pro-business, you can't accuse them of any wrong-doing. That's such a goofy notion I don't how to respond to that.
Yeah but what are we supposed to do, just never discuss a situation until after the jury verdict is in?
Innocent until proven guilty is acknowledged and noted. We are not a court of law, we can also discuss the accusations in the mean time.But nobody is talking about a situation, they are talking about an accusation. If you want to talk about wage violations, feel free. This particular case of these particular restaurants has not been proven however.
Domino's is horrible. Worst pizza chain ever. :smileyfart

It's just baffling. There are few places in the United States where there is a Dominos without a competing pizza place just across the street whose pizza tastes better than the cardboard it's served in. And yet, people are still eating at Dominos. I just can't wrap my head around it.
I think the government should shut dominoes down. That'll fix it.
All the dominos naysayers. I worked at Dominos, several of them - ended up running a couple. Unlike EVERY other major chain pizza place of the time, Dominos always used fresh ingredients, freshly made dough and prepared by trained pizza makers.

Domino's is horrible but Little Ceasars is worse. My advice is to steer clear of a place that sells a whole large pizza for 5 bucks.
Unless you only have 5 bucks.
NY having a real tough time attracting and keeping bussinesses for some reason AND their losing New Yorkers too.
A Progressive activist AG isn't making that any easier on them
Sure they could have legitimately fired him, but they stilled owed his wages.They should have fired you for cause when you "fixed" the dishwasher without asking and without being a certified dishwasher repair person. You may have violated their warranty/service contract and opened them up to action by the state for having an inadequately repaired dishwasher and using underage labor to do so. I know you thought it was a clever action at the time (apparently still do). But having a dishwasher take it on himself to be the repair person doesn't cut it in legitimate business places.
