Anyone know a good labor attorney? [View all]

My company (a large food chain corporation) just sold us to a franchise and my pay was busted down from its already paltry hourly rate to a dollar less than it already was with no notification whatsoever. We're all showing deductions we can't account for from the new company and my district manager had already changed her story twice on the subject and I'm being nowhere with these people. In fact, I'm getting major attitude from the store managers as well when I dare to even ask why this is happening. I just went on my break and applied at our competitor just down the street but I just got my own place last week and now can't pay the rent on the first due to my being shorted on my first two checks. Can anyone please help? Unfortunately, I'm low income AND in Texas. Thanks in advance for your help.

Even in Texas, you do have a Dept. of Labor. Start with them. A lawyer will cost ya. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #2
