Interview with Houston Wage Theft Victim
Last March, Construction Citizen covered a protest held by workers who had been cheated out of wages by Carole Johnson Builders LLC, a subcontractor on a Houston construction project. We were able to interview of one of the foreman who had worked for the subcontractor on the project and who had not been able to collect the wages he was owed.
Bobby Herndon worked for Carole Johnson Builders LLC and was told that he would be paid wages by the hour. He was not paid overtime for the hours he worked each week over 40, and in fact the Carole Johnson Builders LLC did not even pay for all of the hours Herndon worked. When asked how much money he was still owed of the money he had earned, the pain and hurt from the injustice is evident in the following video as he answers “twenty-four hundred dollars.” [node:read-more:link]
