IL Dept. of Labor investigates Oberweis Dairy

Oberweis Dairy, chaired by Illinois gubernatorial candidate Jim Oberweis, is under the investigation of Illinois Department of Labor recently. It is alleged that Oberweis Dairy has violated state and federal minimum wage laws by underpaying two people who hired to clean several of its suburban ice cream stores.

Jorge Ibarra and Rosa Ramirez, tow undocumented workers who are hired by the dairy company and subcontractor Pat Mar Janitorial Services, was paid an average of $3.23 an hour.

Illinois’ minimum wage is $6.50 an hour. The Department of Labor couldn't provide a timeline for deciding on the matter now.
