Help Me Howard: Yogurt Shop Workers Aren't Paid Wages

Two young sisters were hired to work at an East Village yogurt shop last year. They worked long hours, off the books, without lunch or breaks and one of them was still a minor.

In January, they weren't paid for several weeks, but kept working, expecting to get paid. At the end of the month they got paid for the last week, but never got retro payment for those early weeks.

Finally, during an in-house mutiny by employees, they quit and called Help Me Howard to help them get their back pay.
