EL PASO, TX - United Freedom Associate workers are contracted to help feed the soldiers at Fort Bliss, but some of them can't even put food on their table.
The workers say they were laid off after their bonus checks were returned, and they say they haven't received their final checks.
Brandy Wyche is one of those employees.
"I'm very worried, I have two children, me and my husband both work for the company, and the same thing happened to him. His bonus check is not in as well as his final check so it kind of hurts since both of us worked for the company, and both of us were laid off."
We spoke to the manager of United Freedom Associates by phone. He said he would not comment because of an ongoing investigation being done by the El Paso Police Department. El Paso police confirmed there is an investigation involving the company, but police wouldn't give us any details. In the meantime employees are left wondering when they'll get the money they say they're owed.
"I need to know something because I need to make arrangements for me and my children as well as my husband. That's our livelihood. This is a multimillion {dollar} company, I don't understand why we can't get paid."
Wyche says although she was laid off she says she wants to make it clear that she came to us for help because she needs her paycheck, not because she's angry with the company.
"I wish them well, but I do want what's owed to us because I have a family to take care of."
Wyche says she already filed a report with the Department of Labor, and is considering filing a police report.
