When the U.S. Department of Labor filed suit against two local restaurant owners for retaliating against employees who won back pay after complaining to federal officials, the case became one of only three of its kind in the past six months in all of New England.
Spokesman Edmund Fitzgerald said “retaliation” lawsuits against employers by the labor department are rare.
