D.A. Bragg, MTA I.G., Announce Indictment In $339K Wage Theft Case Click For More

“The subway system is the backbone of New York City and the workers and contractors that keep it running deserve every dollar they earn,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Instead, we allege, Rocco Mechanical and its executives stole hundreds of hours’ worth of lawfully earned compensation from its employees by issuing paychecks reflecting the mandatory prevailing wage, but then brazenly requiring cash kickbacks from their own workers. I thank the MTA Inspector General’s Office and the New York City Comptroller’s Office for their partnership in ensuring that New Yorkers are paid what they are owed. I also thank the workers who came forward and urge anyone whose wages have been stolen to do the same. Call or message our Worker Protection Unit at (646) 712-0298.”
