Nail Salon Workers Demand Employers Obey the Law

On June 2008 Susan Kim, a nail salon worker at 167 Nail Plaza won a federal court judgment against her employers at the nail salon. After working there 17 years, they had fired her for demanding a break and overtime pay. But after more than two years, the owners Dong Rim Park and Mou San Rim still refuse to comply with the law and have used various schemes to avoid reinstating the worker or paying the judgment. The owners fraudulently sold their assets, filed bankruptcy, changed their business name, and transferred operation of their business to their daughter to evade the labor law.

Nail Plaza a/k/a Simply Nails is setting a bad example in our communities. These owners are also getting together with owners of nail salons in Long Island, such as Always Is Nails, Diva Nails, and a popular chain called Babi Nail to use similar schemes to try to get away with breaking the law.
