Antiwork

I never got paid for 40 hours of training.

Did that shit for a week. 40 hours. Ended up deciding the job wasn't for me and quitting. I live in California, where unpaid training is illegal afaik. I was supposed to get paid on February 25th. I noticed something was up a couple weeks ago when I finished making my February payments and noticed I had like $550ish less than I expected to. Figured I'd give it a little time and see if they were planning on mailing a paper check. It is March 16th and I have still not seen a cent. I just moved cross-country in January and am extremely strapped for cash. Because of this shit I'm gonna be short on my car payment this month and have to beg my friends and relatives for money. Yay. At least I got my rent and insurance payments done. Anybody know if this was legal in the state…

Anybody know if this was legal in the state of California? I can't afford a lawyer so I don't have much ground to stand on as far as confronting the company goes, but who knows, in a few months when I'm more firmly on my feet I might do something about it.
