<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I work at a fast food franchise that was recently bought by another company, in California.  My girlfriend also works for the company but at another store as a manager. A couple weeks a go she worked 48 hours in one week the other week she worked 38 hours. On her check all she received was 1 hour of overtime. This happened to quite a bit of people at all the stores. There's 3 in my city. This isn't the first time its happened either but now everyone is fed up. Because the company says that they will not pay anything over 40 hours. But that they will be back paying everyone back up to the April 17th. Also one pay period about a month ago these douches paid everyone at my store only half there check. We got paid the rest like 3 days later. Yesterday one of my coworkers confronted two owners of the company while they were at our store. The two claimed to be mostly ignorant but that they need to make some phone calls. About an hour or so later. The area coach and another higher up chick came and talked to my coworker privately saying things like you don't have your facts straight and stuff like that trying to intimidate her. Should we go to labor board?
<bot>: company doesn't wanna pay for overtime. Owners were confronted about it. Sent some chicks to intimidate coworker who confronted them.
