The New York State attorney general's office is said to be reviewing cases involving fast food workers. Sources say that fast-food owners are being investigated to see if they have cheated workers out of wages, including paying below the minimum wage and not paying overtime. The attorney general's office has pushed back against employers who have violated labor laws in the last two years, specifically those cases that involve low-wage workers. Fast food workers in New York City are currently attempting to organize around better wages and working conditions.
