damn thats nasty.
esp. for them to blow you off like that was just stupid on their part, its easy to get news coverage over something like this...
same w/ my work not paying me for almost a month now, my mom is an hr manager and knows all the laws abou tpay n shit, and they tryin to lie to me about it. lol not until i threatened them, did i get it quickly.
i would suggest getting someone that is a health inspector, or try to find a friend that knows someone like that, JUST IN CASE they fuck with you and you have to resort to other ways to get them..
