Diversified Builders, Inc.
| Diversified Builders has worked and continues to work on projects in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Workers working on Diversified projects have told organizers for the Carpenters' District Council of Kansas City & Vicinity of the exploitation they face on the job. Like other contractors who practice misclassification schemes, Diversified Builders has hired workers through a system of "labor brokers". These "labor brokers" have misclassified workers as independent contractors to avoid the costs associated with having employees (e.g. not paying employment taxes such as Social Security or Unemployment Insurance, and in some cases not providing Workers' Compensation Insurance). These workers have indicated that they receive cash payments with no deductions, as well as not getting paid overtime. For many of the workers, they explained to organizers, their status in this country keeps them from complaining to the governmental agencies responsible for enforcing employment standards such as FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act). According to the workers, most of them are being paid well below area standards, even on publicly funded projects where contractors are required by law to pay prevailing wages to construction workers. |
