Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Falsification of information given to DoL by former employer
Although the DoL (Department of Labor) decided that I am entitled to back wages, a conciliation was done and the employer has the right to NOT pay. The information contained in the conciliation was erroneous. It was NOT my job description. When I questioned the DoL they told me that they could not go to court for ONE employee, but I could go to small claims court. I did my research and found I could bring witnesses. After contacting one of my former coworkers, who knew I was not a supervisor to see if he would testify, I was told that shortly after I filed, a departmental meeting was held and ALL employees were directed to lie if directly questioned. Is there an obstruction of justice case here? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Lying witness cases are difficult. YOU must prove the lie and that the employer directed employees to lie. You can bring in any witness or other evidence that can establish the facts, including the DOL if the agent can prove the facts. If documents will establish the facts you may be able to impeach the witnesses.
