Local workers get jobs at Lowe's By Greg Smith, Norwich Bulletin
'We're always happy when local people get work on local projects at area standard wages,' said Tim Sullivan, regional council representative of New England Regional Council of Carpenters in a written release. 'This is great for the state of Connecticut.'
The news comes after the Department of Labor, during an investigation into claims that workers at the site were not being paid minimum wage, found three subcontractors were not providing payroll records on site.
The three subcontractors, from Indiana, North Carolina and Tennessee, were hired by Duke Construction. They were fined $12,300 for the violation of state labor regulations that require payroll records on site.------------------------------------------- posted 6:34 AM :: reference link ::
