California Labor Commissioner Cites Bay Area Garment Businesses For Labor Viola

[2008-4-1]

San Francisco, CA  (CompNewsNetwork) - The California State Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (Labor Commissioner's Office) has issued 41 citations totaling more than $113,000 in fines to Bay Area garment manufacturers in a recent two-day enforcement sweep.

Seven teams of investigators conducted the sweeps of 80 clothing manufacturers, silk screen businesses and embroidery companies located in San Francisco, Alameda and San Mateo counties.

The recent enforcement actions uncovered violations including failure to have workers  compensation insurance, failure to provide itemized deductions and failure to pay overtime or minimum wage. In addition, 20 of the companies failed to keep accurate records as required by labor code, and five shops were not registered as required under state law. As a result, garments were confiscated at three businesses.
