Over the summer I highlighted a series of Connecticut lawsuits against employers taking extra advantage of tipped employees by paying them below minimum wage for untipped work. This week, Rhonda Dupuis e-mailed to let me know that she's now litigating eleven class action lawsuits around the issue, and Outback Steakhouse will have depositions this week. There's more info on-line here, including tapes she recorded while on the job at Chili's and documentation of Outback Steakhouse's "wage mistakes." Check it out.
