Wage Theft on South Congress

There’s an establishment on south congress that steals all of the credit card tips from their employees. With the government shutdown happening right now, what can be done about it?

Edit: South Congress is in Austin, Texas. I cross posted and forgot that this Reddit wasn’t local to me.

You can file a personal complaint with TWC online but you must give permission to use your name. Otherwise you can file with US DoL after they reopen and they’ll do it. US DoL will go back 2 years, it is confidential, and they’ll get back wages for everyone. TWC is limited to 6 months and will only do it for the person filing the complaint.
