State Levies Stop Work Orders At Jewish Health Service Work Site
12:11pm--#Bridgeport CT (11/25/2015)-- Police were called to the work site of the New Jewish Senior Services at 4200 Park Avenue but found a peaceful assembly of workers that were prevented from working. Senior organizer Ted Durarte told me that 86 workers have been replaced by subcontractors misrepresenting as employees and the contractor concealing payroll. Duarte said the employees were paid in cash. What the workers are looking for is a level playing field and that the contractors not cheat the state of payroll taxes and workman's compensation benefits.
