Signature Room owners accused of asset shuffles to dodge workers' back pay
A Cook County lawsuit alleges Infusion Management Group executives moved assets through an LLC and to another entity to pay personal debts instead of satisfying about $1.5 million in back pay and benefits owed to workers laid off when the Signature Room closed in 2023; the union seeks to pierce the corporate veil to hold owners Richard Roman and Nick Pyknis personally liable, with bankruptcy records showing the estate paid nothing, and the NLRB has also charged unlawful bargaining during the shutdown.
