Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Domino’s Workers Win Restitution for Stolen Wages

HeadlineMar 28, 2014

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 McDonald’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.
