In one of the state’s largest fast food enforcement actions in recent years, the California Labor Commissioner cited a Bakersfield Wingstop franchise for almost $3.2 million in stolen wages and penalties.
Wingstop owner Clinton Lewis is alleged to have deprived 551 workers of minimum wage, overtime pay, and missed meal break premium pay between 2019 and 2022. Lewis has appealed the citation and is entitled to a hearing before deputy labor commissioners. Reached by phone, he declined to comment.
