ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) -- The Grinch Fund campaign to give laid off Aberdeen diner employees unpaid back wages has exceeded its goal and resulted in job offers.
KXRO reports the operator of several Denny's franchises, Chris Haque (hawk), donated $3,000 to the fund and offered jobs to workers willing to work at his restaurants in Seattle and Olympia.
Haque told KXRO he's also looking into the possibility of reopening the America's Diner in Aberdeen as a Denny's.
Regular customer Glenn Ludwig started the Grinch Fund to help a dozen workers who hadn't received a paycheck since before Thanksgiving. His goal was $16,000. The fund now has nearly $20,000. The surplus will go to charity.
The Department of Labor and Industries is investigating the owner who closed the diner without paying the workers.
