Protect Construction Workers from Wage Theft!

Brothers and Sisters,

Here at Local 7, we have an opportunity to do our part to protect construction workers from wage theft.

Representatives Peter Capano and Nick Collins have introduced legislation that would allow workers to bring employers to court on behalf of the Commonwealth to recover damages and penalties in the case of non-payment of wages in the construction industry. These protections will allow workers to be better protected in an already dangerous industry with an opportunity to unite and fight for what they deserve.

To help protect the many workers who would benefit greatly from these protections, please visit this website and tell your state representatives to sign on to H1409/S1148 to protect construction workers today!

In Solidarity,

Michael Hess
