Oscar Rivenberk
W4|ml?i*toi?? Cjvil aqd eriminal
contempt actions fU?d here against
a Wallace employer cite numerous
violations of the federal wage and
hour law
Defendant in both actions is Os.
car RhrenbMk, date! business as
Wallace Wholesale Co. He is al
ready under a December 1060 fed
eral court injunction requiring
compliance with the minimum
wage. overtime-pay, and record
keeping provisions.
The civil petition againat Riven
bark, filed by Secretary of Labor
James P. Mitchell, asks that he
be found in contempt of the prior
order because of subminimum
wage payments to his employees
and failure to keep proper records.
Howard E. Parker, wage-hour
investigator for the North Carolina
State Department of Labor, alleged
that Rivenbark failed to keep rec
ords of "time worked" by several,
employees and did not keep "any
type of record concerning one em
ployee for a period of his employ
ment."
Other violations alleged are em
ployment of one minor under IS
years of age as a truck driver's
helper, and discriminatory activi
ties against a former employee.
The complaint alleges that a
former worker and, at the request
of a wage-hour investigator, given
information about hours of work
and wages paid him. Thereafter
Mr. Rivenbark engaged in conduct
designed to "discriminate against,
harass, and embarrass" the for
mer employee, and also "urged,
encouraged, and requested" a sub
sequent employer to discharge
him.
U.S. Attorney Julian T. Gaskill
asks the court to prosecute Riven
bark for criminal contempt of the
earlier court order because the
defendant had "willfully failed and
refuaad to comply."
Back pay due workers is sought,
plus costs of litigation and ex
penses of the wage-hour investiga
tion. The court is alao asked to
expand the original injunction by
directing compliance with the child
labor proviaions and requiring that
the employer not discriminate
againat or diacharge any worker
becauae of a proceeding under or
related to the wage-hour law.
