WSRCC Top Three: April 15th

Here is the WSRCC Top Three for the week of April 15th.

Stand Up to Construction Industry Tax Fraud

Tax Fraud affects us all. When crooked contractors cheat the system, our communities are cheated out of millions in tax revenue. This impacts our schools, roads, emergency services, public safety, and other resources that benefit the community. It also contributes to wage theft, labor abuse, human trafficking, cheap wages, and brings an unskilled and unsafe workforce to our neighborhoods. It’s never been more critical to stand up against tax fraud. Follow this link and watch this video to learn more.

Taking action against Tax Fraud

Tax fraud is a major concern in the construction industry, costing $10B annually in the U.S. alone. It’s crucial to continue advocating for change, to create a fairer future for construction workers and their families. Tax fraud is relentless, and that is why Union Carpenters are always vigilant, putting boots on the ground throughout the year to tilt the scales in our favor. Dedicated to combating unethical practices, we stand firm against bad actors across 12 states, bringing attention to and shutting down unsavory business practices throughout the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters.
