    Yeah, I know ... big effin joke.

    I was perplexed at 1st. Looked him up on Facebook and elsewhere on the Internet. Yes Lucifer Morningstar is/was a tv show character and yes it was a reference to the "devil".

    When I got into his truck, I immediately asked for his CDL-A license (as I would anyone else in the industry). Yes, his legal name is Lucifer Morningstar. I believe that it was Luis and he changed it to Lucifer (Like Chris and Christopher). Morningstar was chosen by himself also. His mother works in the company under the name Nelly Keller.

    He always played it straight. Never made a joke about it, and I would imagine that it woukd get old, but yes, that's his name.

    Regardless of whether or not one would have continued working for the company after 1 or 2 weeks w/o pay, it remains that I am owed back wages.

    Better Business Bureau only takes consumer complaints. I've filed with the PA Dept of Labor for Back Wages owed. Where else can I get help? Do I go directly to the court system myself and file a suit?

    Go to the landfill in Dunmore. Ask to speak to the man in charge. He's Italian. And his people can take care of your issue. For a fee

    Yes. I've seen the ad. Straight ahead - just the same as I was offered, I believe.
    If I was paid on time, and the interoffice communication was better, I'd still be there.
    My idea was that it would be better to submit pay stubs from a company salary W2 style organization than it would be to submit independent contractor 1099 receipts when it came to purchasing a home. I'd like to do that as soon as possible.

    So.....

    Today I received an email with the name of the individual taking the case from the Scranton PA Depart of Labor. Short msg. seemed on target.

    Anyone else with kind of experience?
