It sounds like a frustrating situation. In California, your rights as an employee are protected under the Labor Code, and you have the right to receive timely payment for your work. Here are a few steps you can consider:
- Contact the California Labor Commissioner's Office: They can provide guidance and help with wage claims.
- Document Communication: Keep records of all communications with your employer and union.
- Union Responsibilities: Your union should advocate for your best interests. If they fail to do so, you may have grounds for a grievance.
