They were doing some sketchy BS last week and I told her she needs to submit complaints to the labor board and the safety board. She doesn’t want to go through all that, which I understand but it lets them keep doing illegal stuff.
From what i understand it’s not a very involved process. Not like you have to go to court and all that. File a complaint, give your side, they investigate.
If the labor board finds wrongdoing, the worker could be rewarded 2-3x what the lost wages were, and the company gets put on shitlist somewhere.
I am far from an expert, but i do frequent workers rights spaces for what it’s worth (nearly nothing).
Maybe try telling her that she’ll be helping anyone else who is in her position or will be in her position in the future. She can help prevent them from victimizing someone else.
