N.J. gas attendants were underpaid, federal probe shows
Source: CBS News

ByKATE GIBSON

More than 1,100 gasoline station attendants in New Jersey have received $5.5 million in back wages and damages after a multiyear probe by the U.S. Department of Labor found the workers had not been paid the minimum wage and in some cases, overtime pay, the federal agency said Thursday.

"Our investigations of the New Jersey gas station industry found widespread violating of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions," Mark Watson, regional administrator of the Wage and Hour Division in the Northeast, said in a statement.

Employees covered by the act must be paid no less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, with non-agricultural and other non-exempt workers entitled to time-and-a-half of their regular rates for every hour they work above 40 hours a week.

3. Am thinking this is against the individual station (franchise) owners

versus the oil companies that supply them.

It's similar when they go after the individual owners when they tried to gouge on prices after major storms, etc.

Blah, blah

2. This in the State that forces gas station attendants to pump gas,

and doesn't allow customers to do so.

TROLL!!!

4. Underpaying is how they keep their per gal prices cheaper

Come across the bridges here to Philly and it's like day and night (although it seems the price differential often comes out to the cost of the toll).

Suck it Philly dummie!!!

5. Unlike the 48 states that force customers to pump their own gas.

eta: NJ has relatively low pump prices because of low gas taxes and because it has refineries which lowers the transport cost.

Dummie stumbles on to the truth. So can we build some more refineries dummies?  Dummies? Bueller?

Shouldn't be too much to bitch about these days.

Didn't Barry lower gas prices?  (even though HE sure as HELL increased my ELECTRIC BILL!!!!)  :censored:
