New Jersey shuts down 27 Boston Market restaurants over labor violations and unpaid wages

Multiple Boston Market locations in New Jersey have been temporarily shut down by the state's Department of Labor.
Violations include over $600,000 in back wages owed to 314 employees.
The state imposed nearly $2.6 million in penalties against Boston Market.
A worker complaint in November sparked an investigation that revealed additional violations at other locations.
Boston Market is challenging the state's findings and penalties.
