In the Summer of 1972 I worked as a waitress at one of the local cafes. There were 10 employees who worked there during that time. All was well until the beginning of November when we did not receive a paycheck. The owner said he had some rough spots but we would be paid. He said that in December too and no one ever got paid for either month. One day he just changed the locks and the business was done. He fled the state. The other employees and I filed a suit against him for our wages and were told when he could be found, we would get paid before the other creditors. He was not found.
Last week I heard this man is back in the city and now working as a police officer - which was his original job but he had gotten fired for accepting bribes. Apparently the law forgets as he is really working for the local police department.
I imagine there is a statute of limitations? Who would I ask?
