Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

There is a company that offered me equity in exchange of work. With time they created a policy that punished somebody arriving late. I always arrived 5 minutes past the hour and they punished me. I told them no one depended on my work so there was no reason to do so. Also, I was the only one without a car and that have had breakfast. The rest of the persons were there but without breakfast. So they had to leave at some point during the morning. Anyway, these policies were against the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights because they asked me to do activities that attacked my self-respect, like for instance, cleaning the office, the bathroom, and stuff. The interesting part is that the policies were nepotist and spiteful because they applied only to me whenever my boss thought I was late even when he authorized me to be late. There is a no-sue clause in the agreement. Also there is a clause about no interfering with work. There is also a clause that says that they have given me enough information about "the investment". I claimed that they were interfering with my work and farewell and that they have never given me any information. They just smiled and said that it was not a big deal. They are still deliberately cruel. I stopped working with them after two months. Haven't seen a penny. I tried meetings to solve these issues and everything. They have not given me any information about what is this equity options. I do not even know what I can these options. They made me work 2 months, using my own resources like my cellphone, computer and resources, and punish me making me clean their office because I was arriving 5 minutes late. Is it legal a no-sue clause? Is not observing the universal declaration of human rights legal? If they have contracts that say that they can not interfere with work (supposedly we all signed the same contracts) can they really interfere with mine? More at http://goo.gl/3z1Mg
