Thanks sexobon, I will keep that in mind. For now I plan on printing off the list of rights for him to take to his employer. If that does not work, I found the "wage claim request" on the TWC website that he can fill out and file. Hopefully we'll end up not having to pay any money to a lawyer or collection agency. He has already filed with OSHA for the poor working conditions like no ventilation or eyewash station (he got brake fluid in his eyes the other day so that was especially bad).
He has another job opportunity, the company is better but the hours are horrible. He will try a few other places as well. He is definitely not going to sign, even if it means termination. I've been checking the unemployment benefit requirements, and he should be eligible. Hopefully that won't be necessary though.

@shaw: good for your dad! sounds like a good man.
