A: It would seem that you were possible subjected to several civil wrongs, called "torts" by this company, and you may also have wage claims that you can file with the labor commissioner. Yes, you can sue them for the torts that they committed against you, just because they are a 503c corporation, does not insulate them from your claims.

A: There are quite a few accusations here, and none of which have enough information to come to a conclusion on what can be done. I would recommend consulting a lawyer, and explain the specifics and see if they can come up with a proper course of action. But, as my colleague pointed out, they are not exempt from being sued simply because they are a nonprofit.
