Re: No Money
You need to provide considerably more information on what your oral understandings were (those can form a contract), what the alleged breach was, and what the contract they say you signed says. And, since you're an independent contractor, your only remedy would be a small claims petition in magistrate court for the 3 days, since the labor dept. has no jurisdiction. Unless the 3 days is a lot, if they won't bend, it's probably not worth the trouble.
