but Im a true union guy, and a true working man. Its a shame that they are not getting paid. Screwing a working class person out of wages deserves a special place in hell.

In reality, they walked off their jobs. which puts them behind the eight ball. They will need to take this to court to get paid.

Since they arent union, they dont have a mechanism in place to protect them against the company owners claim. Like a steward who records work hours as back up, and to make sure the employer is paying the right amount into the benefits.
