It seems that even millionaire movie star employers have hassles with their labour cost, but in this case it seems that it’s not because the employer can’t afford to pay!
Robert De Niro has come under fire from the US Department Of Labour for having allegedly cheated his restaurant workers out of $328,000 (€253,200) in pay.Employment officials claim more than 100 staff at exclusive Japanese eatery Nobu, in New York City, have seen their overtime pay wrongly slashed and the restaurant has been ordered to make up the huge shortfall. De Niro, who is thought to earn around $20M (€15.4m) a movie, co-owns the restaurant with Japanese chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.
