Who do we report the boss to?

Sounds like these employers aren't paying their workers a living wage.  Maybe someone should do something about that.  
Louisiana businesses can submit complaints to the Louisiana Workforce Commission about employees who are still attempting to claim unemployment benefits despite refusing to return to work.

Some businesses have complained in recent months that extra benefits funded by the federal government have made unemployment more attractive for low wage workers who would earn more not working.
The "Workforce Commission" used to be called the Labor Department.  But that came too close to implying to people that its mission might actually be supportive of the power and well being of those who labor.  Instead what it does is keep the "workforce" in line on behalf of the bosses. So this is more accurate.
