What to do after filing a complaint with the labor board?
I’ve received a call from some employees about the gratuity that my co-workers and I were not receiving. HR and boss fired for stealing the money over a 5 year period. About 8 employees are calling the labor board, including me. However, how to get a labor law/employment law attorney to handle our case as one? What to do next after calling labor board? In Philadelphia, PA.

I think that I answered your other question that was posted earlier today. You can all seek to bring an action together as against your ex employer through the same attorney but it may not be the best idea. You have to determine if your claims are adverse to any of your co workers (they do not seem that they would be just want you to make sure). And honestly I would wait and see if the Department of Labor is going to take the case on and go against your employer too. What they determine as to the matter can have an impact on your case and they may force a settlement of the matter with the employees (a sort of restitution). Consult with an attorney in your area on the matter. Good luck.
