What you may not know is that TechShop owes its employees and instructors, to the best of our knowledge, as much as $600,000.<br><br></div>TechShop was nothing without its employees and instructors, and many of us, also being members, continued to give to the community on a daily basis and freely, as is natural in a healthy shop/hacker culture.<br><br></div>But we all relied on compensation, as well, because we provided services to TechShop at the exclusion of other employment. Some, like myself, were contractors who put in 40 hours a week, nine to five. Some have suggested that this is not indicative of the kind of work a contractor does, but rather an employee, which puts TechShop in a bad position.<br><br></div>The TechShop employees and instructors have formed a group to communicate a path forward. We have begun putting the work forward to making sure that we are compensated. Some of us have hardship and are facing eviction, loss of business, and even estrangement from family.<br><br></div>Now TechShop has a number of interested buyers. Some of them are getting desperate and have begun harassing members of the Employee group.<br><br></div>While the employee group was working to find an amicable way to resolve this, the desperation has become threatening and legal threats have been made.<br><br></div>It is obvious we now need help finding a path forward. If anyone has employee rights consultants who can help us, please contact me.<br><br></div>Thank you.<span class="m_1386352547057855171gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="m_1386352547057855171gmail-m_190313586436749931gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://nutxandxoltx.org" target="_blank"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/coreyfro.com/uc?id=1IrIhSbF4JBJAbjtZbI9YHr6YfTd9kOTl0g&export=download" alt="Nutx & Xoltx" width="420" height="94"></a><a href="http://nutxandxoltx.org/" target="_blank"><br></a></div><div><a href="http://nutxandxoltx.org/" target="_blank">Visit Us!</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://nutxandxoltx.org" target="_blank"></a></div></div></div></div>
