"Your Lunch Won't Cost Me $500": Boss Demands Employee Answer Phone While She's Eating

I had a boss tell edd office I didn't work much, thought I had a drinking problem, ect.. I was having female issues and it was all documented by the hospital. He started requiring us to eat in, and answer phones. Boss proceeds to tell he gave me a job. So I reported him to labor board per instructions of the edd agent. I worked there for7-8mos. He end up owing me $240.00 for my lunches in. Best part he 1 employee there for 3yrs and the other 5yrs. Labor board found he violated the law and had to pay plus pay at overtime rate due to it being a 40hr work week. Tell me I didn't work I was lucky he did me a favor. Well I did his employees a better favor. They got money they were owed for doing him a favor!
