a Not the Onion moment for sure:

A California restaurant had an individual impersonate a priest to encourage employees to confess their “sins” against their employer, but the man has no links with the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, a diocese spokesman said.

The U.S. Department of Labor on June 12 said the use of the supposed priest was “among the most shameless” of corrupt actions employers have used against employees. The situation concerns the company Che Garibaldi Inc., which operates two Taqueria Garibaldi restaurants in Sacramento and one in Roseville. The company and its owners and operators have agreed to a federal settlement after allegations of various labor law violations.

    This whole scenario is insane.

    It shouldn’t be. Folks need to keep in mind that these kind of corporatist scum will quite literally kill however many people they need as long as they’d get away with it, all in the name of profit.
    The reason they don’t do that is because they’re afraid of getting caught.

    if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor

    Spot on.
