Joshua Wolfson at trib.com writes the suit claims workers at
Mt. Rushmore received less than federal minimum wage and weren’t paid overtime
when they worked more than 40 hours a week. The allegations date as far back as
August 2008, according to the complaint.
Federal authorities also accuse the company of failing to
keep adequate records related to employee work hours.
Mt. Rushmore President Jan Charles Gray disputed the
allegations in a statement emailed to the Star-Tribune.
“The filing is bogus and unfortunate,” said Gray, who’s
named in the lawsuit. “The accusations themselves are not accurate, [coming]
from disgruntled former employees, some of whom are convicted felons.”
Labor Department attorney Beau Ellis did not respond Tuesday
to a message seeking comment.
Mt. Rushmore Broadcasting is licensed to operate four FM
stations in Casper: KMLD 94.5, KASS 106.9, KQLT 103.7 and KHOC 102.5. It also
owns KVOC-AM 1230 in Casper, along with stations in Rawlins and in South
Dakota.
This posting doesn't mention that there is an exemption for small business under a certain sales threshold written into the applicable Congressional statute. The Obama administration and Hilda Solis has decided that these rules do not apply for any business using telephones. That's an absolutely ridiculous action on the part of the Obama administration and shows how they are targeting small business.
