(Chicago Tribune) — Ismael and Efren Sanchez, both bricklayers, said their boss did not pay them for three months. When the father and son asked for their salaries, the employer claimed to have the same problem.
I don’t have the money.
Not believing it, the Sanchezes complained to the Illinois Department of Labor, saying they were owed nearly $13,000. Even though the state ruled in their favor, they have waited months for relief, and their home in south suburban Markham went into foreclosure in March.
