BANGOR, Maine (WABI) – A Bangor restaurant is facing more than 1,700 labor law violations, according to the Bangor Daily News.

The newspaper says it obtained a letter from the Maine Department of Labor to immigration officials regarding Green Tea Restaurant on Bangor Mall Boulevard.

According to the report, the state opened an investigation into Green Tea last January and in the spring issued a citation for 1,710 labor law violations over the previous three years.

The BDN reports the DOL did not detail the violations but said they fell under statutes related to the full and timely payment of wages, earned paid leave, minimum wages, and the employment of minors.

The newspaper says a lawyer for the owners of Green Tea declined to comment other than to say the restaurant is cooperating.
