Sucks!

Some of New York's glitziest restaurants have been accused in recent lawsuits of stealing tips and cheating wait staff out of wages.

The establishments named in the suits include Nobu, Pastis, and Jean George.

Robert DeNiro's Nobu is getting lots of bad press these days!

An attorney representing several restaurants, tried to lay blame on 'decades-old workplace labor laws, as well as state and federal laws that do not clearly state who can share in tips and how they should be divided'.

The legal bloodhound went on to say, "It is a result of these antiquated laws and regulations that plaintiff class action lawyers have been able to swoop in and take advantage."

So legal greed is driving fair labor practices at NYC restaurants?

We say tip your NYC waiter in cash and hand it over to them directly!

Perezito charlo con El Pais en esta nueva entrevista.

Es muy guay!

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't make history on Thursday.

He refrained from using his power to veto the budget California lawmakers sent his way because his demands for budget reform were incorporated into the plan!

Lawmakers also agreed to nix 'borrowing gimmicks' opposed by the Gov.

No governor in modern California state history has ever vetoed a budget submitted by lawmakers.

Arnie criticized the original plan for failing to meet his demands for a more robust rainy day fund. He said the budget relied on accounting gimmicks to close a $15.2 billion deficit — such as collecting an extra 10 percent of workers' income tax in advance and repaying it later — that could lead to an even larger deficit next year, according to reports.

Legislative leaders said they had agreed to remove that provision in their latest deal.

Nice to see government peeps working together!

How refreshing.

Good job, Arn!
