Class "A" Valet restitution
Summary
The city's first council-level minimum wage enforcement action: a valet company paid workers $12 an hour when $14 was required, misled employees about pay, and stonewalled the investigation. Workers get a restitution order they can take to small claims court; the company no longer operates in St. Paul but does business in Minneapolis.
