Domino's Workers Win Restitution for Stolen Wages 
--------------------------------------------------


 
In New York City, Domino's workers have won nearly $450,000 in
restitution after being paid below the minimum wage and denied overtime.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said he reached the deal with the
owners of 23 Domino's stores. It follows a similar victory by Mc
Donald's employees, bringing the total amount of stolen wages regained
by fast-food workers in New York City to nearly $1 million in two weeks.
The Fast Food Forward campaign says more than 80 percent of New York
City's fast-food workers report wage theft. In related news, Connecticut
Gov. Dannel Malloy has signed a bill raising the minimum wage to $10.10
an hour starting in 2017.
