A craft brewery in Petaluma and a nonprofit organization in Santa Rosa are both accused of violating California labor laws. HenHouse Brewing Company and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa were both sued a day apart last month. The brewery is facing allegations from a former employee and the nonprofit is facing allegations from a current worker. They say there were violations of state laws on minimum and overtime wages, rest breaks, timely paychecks, itemized pay stubs, and reimbursement of expenses. Both want their cases to become class-action lawsuits so they can add more workers who they say were also affected.
