Take action now to protect construction workers from wage theft!
Please sign on to H1409 (Rep. Capano) and S1148 (Sen. Collins) to protect against wage theft in the construction industry.
This legislation would provide for private enforcement of non-payment of wages in the construction industry and allow an interested party to bring an action in the name of and on behalf of the Commonwealth against the employer to recover damages and penalties.
These protections are essential for workers in an inherently dangerous industry, especially when we are learning more and more about egregious practices occurring among those employers who have no regard for the safety of the people who work for them or the rules the rest of us must follow.
We owe it to the companies who do the right thing, and the workers who need these protections, to pass this legislation. Please sign on today.
