SAN FRANCISCO-The California Department of Industrial Relations has received a $2.1 million hold on property owned by three San Francisco-based garment contractors accused of not paying their employees.

Department spokesman Dean Fryer says that a San Francisco Superior Court judge granted the hold, called a prejudgment writ of attachment, against Anna Wong, Jenny Wong and Jimmy Quan to prevent them from selling eight commercial properties they own in San Francisco and Oakland. The owners will go to trial next year concerning the charges.

In February, California Labor Commissioner Arthur Lujan filed a lawsuit to preserve the commercial assets to pay $840,000 in back pay allegedly owed to at least 239 former employees of Wins of California, Win Industries of America and Win Fashions. The Wongs and Quan were part owners of three clothing businesses and allegedly did not pay their employees for three months.
