Actually what they did is punch my timecard unbeknownst to me while I was busy working.
The reason why? Because the university coop doesn't allow students to work XX days after the end of the semester. Funny, I think Japanese law doesn't allow working without receiving monetary compensation.
See, that's the thing. I believe I *am* protected under labor laws, but can I a) get anyone to pay attention and b) afford legal help for less than seven hours' wages?
As much as it galls me, my best option might be to use this (and the threat of my quitting and forcing them to train someone else on the food line and register) to get concessions in other areas...say if I wanted to take a day off and couldn't get a replacement.

I am speechless. I hope you got to knock a few heads together when you discovered this, and you will be paid for your hours.
*appalled*

It occurs to me that the above is a good working definition of the Asian economy. Oh well.
