a Not the Onion moment for sure:

A California restaurant had an individual impersonate a priest to encourage employees to confess their “sins” against their employer, but the man has no links with the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, a diocese spokesman said.

The U.S. Department of Labor on June 12 said the use of the supposed priest was “among the most shameless” of corrupt actions employers have used against employees. The situation concerns the company Che Garibaldi Inc., which operates two Taqueria Garibaldi restaurants in Sacramento and one in Roseville. The company and its owners and operators have agreed to a federal settlement after allegations of various labor law violations.

This sounds like something the management saw on a Mexican soap opera, what a bizarre way to treat employees. The settlement comes out to around $5k per employee - not enough, they should really feel some pain from doing something like this. I live in the area and have seen these restaurats - thankfully I have never eaten at one that I can remember.
