  Basis for punitive damages is that the diner harmed the employee by 
breaking the law.

  I think 12 out of 12 jurors would agree and be glad to set a precedent
in favor of their ability to have jobs to go back to when they are done
with that case.  There's gotta be a lawyer who would seek punitive damages
for this since he would get around 30 percent.
