Attorney General Rob Banta Press Conference
Last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed 31 criminal charges against US Framing West and two employees for wage theft and tax evasion. US Framing West failed to pay over $2.5 million in payroll taxes and underpaid workers on public projects. This is a major win for California workers as the state continues to fight labor law violations. AG Bonta was joined by Labor leaders to discuss the impact of these violations on workers and the construction industry.
