SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - At least 10 workers at a Santa Fe car wash say they have put up with wage abuse for years.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports workers have filed complaints with city and state officials, alleging poor working conditions and unpaid wages at Squeaky Clean Car Wash . An attorney for car wash owner Jay Ritter says the business' records have been impeccable.
The employees say they sent Ritter letters asking their hourly salary be raised to what is stipulated by the city ordinance. They say they are paid $9.50 per hour and their checks don't reflect cash tips.
A city manager's representative says Ritter previously provided documents to the city attorney showing he was adequately paying workers.
She says if workers can prove otherwise, the city will investigate further.
