What can I dod if the language school doesn't pay me?

Is there any recourse? Is there Small Claims Court in this country? Any lawyers?

As many know, the language school withholds a month's pay; pay for October come (is supposed to) at the end of November, plus they do not pay if students don�t show. There is no sick pay, often now health insurance, no paid holidays and a lot of illegal pay under the table. Americans have to spend a fortune in time, effort and money to get a work permit and visa.

So maybe teachers who sign up for abuse get what they deserve. But many of us are serious.

I am desperate now. Please advise.

Thanks.
