Mass. AG, company settle Hurricane Ike pay dispute
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Attorney General Martha Coakley has reached a settlement with a disaster response company accused of failing to pay workers recruited for Hurricane Ike cleanup.
Coakley's office announced Friday that the Everett-based LVI Environmental Services, Inc. has agreed to pay around $50,000 in restitution to 159 workers.
The attorney general said LVI recruited workers from Lawrence in 2008 with a promise of work in the storm's aftermath. The workers were bused to Houston but the majority did not receive any work.
Workers stayed in Texas for a week before being transported back to Massachusetts.
As part of the agreement, LVI agreed to pay restitution although the company maintains no money was owed the workers. The company declined immediate comment on Friday.
