Diva in trouble for paying below minimum wage?!

Just saw this and I cannot believe they were trying to get away with paying their employees less than $5 an hour!

Will be going to Namaskar from now on...food is better there anyways.

Disappointed but not surprised--wage and hour violations are endemic to the restaurant business.

Thirded. If you had full insight into the books at Namaskar, I would not be surprised if you found a similar story there. Diva may be worse than other area restaurants, but it may also just have had employees who got support in speaking out.
