I'm sorry, but I find it difficult to believe you. The workers are the witnesses. A lawyer would get a court order to see the company policy if the company would not give it to him voluntarily. If all this were true, it would be on the front page of the newspaper.

Like I said only if you worked there you would understand. The bigger the pocket the bigger the political power.

Are you sure you are not just a disgruntled worker? My husband and I have worked for several nation-wide companies who were always very upfront with company policy, etc. Companies don't have that much power over employees who, if something smells funny, will take off for lawyers quicker than you can wink.

I respect your opinion but have you ever worked for s scab corporation that does not believe in taking lunch will work 16, 18 , and sometimes 24hrs straight. Then make you drive from one job to the next with no sleep. While you are on the road they don't won't you to ask for time off they try to keep you on the road and out of state so you work 7 days a week month after month pulling in 90 to 100 hr pay checks sometimes even more. Every week.

Why would someone work for such a company? And not report them?

Who are you going to report it to. What labor board, osha. Same rules apply when in court who's the judge going to believe you or the cop. Why work there I don't know. It's the only way I know how to bread on table.

Call an attorney who deals with labor questions, and get a free consultation. You don't go to court until the lawyer has amassed evidence for your case. What cop?? There are other companies to work for.

Does your friend have a copy of the waiver he signed? Did he pay that money by check? Those are two pieces of evidence.

They would never give a copy of waver to him like you said that's evidence no check was paid. They took it out of his paycheck each week. They cop and court was a figure of speech.

Something is not right here - I'm an accident investigator. I'm assuming (and I won't know because OP refuses to post the circumstances, keeps quoting the "normal accident" language) that property damage of SOME kind was involved (car "friend" was in was damaged) - so who paid for that?

There's a cop; no, there's no cop, that's a figure of speech.

Not buying it.

That's almost a year's worth of paychecks for $2200.

What does he make per hour?
