What company is GASCO?

The owner of my company will not pay me or anyone else in the company, what should we do?

• In early August 2010 I first met with the owner of my current company about finding rental space for a start-up business, he was interested in starting a medical marijuana business in CALIFORNIA and needed space. After meeting with him several times, he offered me a position working at his new company as a upper level executive. At the time he was undecided about what type of medical marijuana business to open, eventually he decided to open an analytical laboratory for medical marijuana. I signed a general non-disclosure (bought off rocket laywer.com) that only covers business start-up plans and business opportunities. The company officially opened April 1st 2011, but we had been working on the project since November of 2010. Before the company opened, the owner had agreed to pay me $8,500 per month on 1099 basis, since the company has opened, I have not been paid for any of the work I have completed (on average 25-30 hours per week), and he has not given me anything in writing or independent contractors agreement, I recently filled out a 1099 but that’s all I have filled out with the company. There is a total of 5 individuals In the same situation as myself, When we approach the subject of payment and contracts with the owner he says that we are all partners and shareholders in the business and we don’t need anything in writing, however we have not signed anything that states how much equity we each have in the company, nor have we received any payments . We each have a company card and all expenses are paid i.e. food, gas, lodging, car repairs etc. but we are at a point where we either need it in writing that we are equity partners or payments, is this legal? What should we do? The company is not quite profitable yet, and I could understand not being paid if I were an equal partner. Any help will be appreciated.
