City accused of paying unfair wages Tahoe Daily Tribune, CA
The investigation was sparked by complaints by union contractors, who filed their own claim with the Department of Labor Standards and Enforcement.
A preliminary DIR labor commissioner's report obtained by the Tahoe Daily Tribune indicates an audit found 139 subcontractors were each paid between $7 to $10 an hour for work in 2002 at the site. With prevailing wage standing at $35 an hour, the difference could add up to $1,400 per subcontractor in back wages per seven-day work week, according to the report, written by a lead deputy labor commissioner.------------------------------------------- posted 6:23 AM :: reference link ::
