Why should there be such a short time limit on a person's right to file a complaint? It could very well be that one does not realize he/she has been underpaid until this short period has expired. This is just another way to give corporate America the upper hand in the treatment of its employees. The American worker has lost a staggering number of rights in our very recent history, and some, if not all of them, should be restored. Contrary to popular belief, we should not be canon fodder to help the corporate elite enhance their already fat wallets.

Re: Lucas Murdock comment re: short time limit not realizing what rights. I was severly burned at work in 1978 by a faulty hot water spigot. Boiling water spewed all over my ankle and hand, left huge scar on my ankle. I was in alot of pain for months, I had such a good work ethic I went back to work even tho I was in a lot of pain. I did not realize as I was young, 19 years old, I should have filed a suit for the pain and scarring this malfunction of equipment caused me. When someone told me I should have received damages, I tried to file years later only to be told the time limit had expired. I don't believe in some "frivolous" suits people file, but I feel mine was legit. Also, this was M and M Marrs company.
