Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs.

‘The most interesting economy in the region': How Rancho Cordova became a ‘hot town'

When Rancho Cordova approved an indoor soccer arena and surrounding development in a $185 million deal last week, the city of nearly 90,000 people east of Sacramento was burnishing a reputation as one of the region’s "hot” cities for businesses. “It’s where all the new stuff’s going,” said Greater Sacramento Economic Council President and CEO Barry Broome. The city, he said, has “made itself the most interesting economy in the region.” Rancho Cordova is growing faster than most other cities in California. City leaders said they have prioritized attracting investment and helping businesses navigate bureaucratic hurdles, with relatively affordable housing also supporting those efforts. The number of jobs in Rancho Cordova has grown to 74,000, up 10% since the city incorporated in 2003. An agreement with chip giant Nvidia is expected to bring school curricula and job training focused on the company’s technology. Three years ago, Solidigm, a memory storage company spun out of Intel, chose Rancho Cordova for its global headquarters. The company has invested more than $100 million in its local facilities in recent years and employs about 700 people in the region. But just as Rancho Cordova is attracting new investments, not long ago the community suffered
