Federal government sues La Nopalera, alleges restaurant didn't pay minimum wage

Hmm...

For the second time since 2011, the federal government filed suit against the owners of two La Nopalera restaurants, claiming the owners didn't pay its workers minimum wage.

The U.S. Department of Labor filed two suits this year against La Nopalera. In 2011, the department also sued and settled lawsuits against two of the Mexican restaurants, charging its owners took part in a scheme to skirt minimum-wage laws. The owners paid nearly a million dollars to settle that suit.

Shouldnt the business liscense be revoked until the case is closed?...seems that if they have done this same thing before it will probably continue..the last thing that mexicans need is another mexican screwing staff out of their money.
