A former employee of Indigo, apopular Indian restaurant in northeast DC, is staging a demonstration today at 12:30p to demand that owner Dinesh Tandon, pay her the wages that she is owed. Tandon owes the former worker, Reyna, over $7,000, reports the Employment Justice Center. "Sometimes I can't even sleep,” because of worries about the stolen wages, Reyna says. “Despite the passage of the Minimum Wage Amendment Act of 2013 and the Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2014, too many District employers continue to flagrantly violate the law and pay their workers sub-poverty wages,” says the EJC.
