Practice question
A contractor refuses to release a worker’s undisputed earned wages solely because the worker testified in a coworker’s wage case. It says the worker filed no personal case. Resolve.
- Earned wages automatically become a litigation bond
- A personal case is always indispensable
- The employer may punish every nonparty witness
- The separate witness protection defeats that stated justification
- Only the coworker can object to the wage refusal
