NJ Restaurant Workers Picket for Year's Back Pay

Three workers have begun a campaign to receive a years back pay. Joined by members of Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, they picketed outside the work place Tuesday, Dong' Ari, a Fort Lee, NJ Korean restaurant. A former cook at the restaurant claimed that he is owed a year's pay of 12-hour shifts, often every day of the week. It amounts to thousands of dollars.
 
The husband and wife owners of the Dong Ari restaurant say they are facing economic difficulties.
The business also failed its health inspection and patrons have noticed few customers.
 
Should workers have to pay for business difficulties? Wages, often held back in Asian American restaurants, are legally required to be paid on time.
