The discussion is particularly focused on cases involving unpaid wages, a common issue faced by many employees.

This episode is the first of a two-part series and promises to be both engaging and informative for anyone interested in learning more about the legal protections available to workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act. By shedding light on the behind-the-scenes work of a law firm dedicated to fighting for employee rights, Jesse and Justin provide valuable information and insight for anyone who may be facing workplace violations.

“It’s important for people to understand that under the Fair Labor Standards Act, there is an anti-retaliation provision built into the statute itself. Your employer is not allowed to retaliate against you under the law. And if they do, there are built-in protections for employees if they do raise this as an issue with your employer.”
