FAIRFIELD, CT Two Fairfield County restaurateurs who are accused of threatening employees and taking workers wages are the subject of a recent court order, according to federal officials.
The U.S. Department of Labor obtained the order against Christopher Delmonico, owner of the now-closed Chubby s in Bridgeport and co-owner with Niall O Neill of The Ole Dog Tavern, which has locations in Fairfield and Stratford, a department news release said. The defendants continually violated their employees rights, first denying them proper pay and then using intimidation to claw back the monies they were legally required to pay the employees to resolve the violations we found, said Sarah Thomas, wage and hour division assistant district director, in the news release. Their actions are illegal and unacceptable.
