Aside from a false imprisonment, this may violate any number of laws, there could be overtime violations, there may be OSHA standards that are violated. In short, an employer who acts in such a reckless manner is probably violating more than one law and this needs to be addressed.

No. It could be false imprisionment; a civil offense for which you could sue. If you would like a consult, please consider calling an attorney or my office.
