IF it happened to be true, the first thing to do is file a complaint
with the local branch of the county Department of Labor. How can a
business employ teenagers who live at home and not allow them to call
their parents if they're being asked to work late? Doesn't make a lick
of sense.

It also doesn't make sense that Angela could not call where she worked
to find out if she was on the schedule. I've never ever heard of a
company doing business that way, not even a small Mom & Pop type place.
