For Desecration of the American Way of Life. A rat is a contractor that does not pay all of its employees the Area Standard Wages, including either providing or making payments for family health care and pension benefits. Businesses that choose this breed of contractor are guilty as well. When contractors underpay their workers, often the rest of pick up the difference when we pay our taxes. Shame on GVA/Kidder Mathews for contributing to the erosion of Area Standards for area carpenter craft workers. The Pacific NW Regional Council of Carpenters has a labor dispute with Davis Schueller Inc. performing work in the Vance Building in Seattle. Davis Schueller Inc. does not meet area labor standards, including providing or fully paying for family health care and pension for all of its carpenter craft employees.

The State Supreme Court just issued a decision on a dispute involving Thurston County and the payment of overtime to employees. You can read the article at the source here. The Olympian Four officers — Gene Champagne, Cary Brown, Roland Knorr and Christopher Scanlon — sued the county for its practice of waiting an extra pay period to pay overtime.
