Pizza workers talked with the feds, then owner fired them in Colorado, officials say
Two Colorado pizza workers were fired by their boss shortly after speaking to federal investigators about their job, officials said.
Now a complaint has been filed against the owner of ZdN Inc., Shawna Bingham, who also operates Blackjack Pizza & Salads franchise in Firestone, accusing her of intimidating and retaliating against her employees, the U.S. Department of Labor said in a Jan. 17 news release.
Bingham is accused of telling a worker she was “appalled” the department was investigating her restaurant for what she believed was about her pay practice, the news release said.
A federal investigator had come to the restaurant to investigate the potential issue. During that visit, the owner called in two off-duty workers, who were then interviewed by the investigator, the release said.
