Overview of Southerntier settlement
Southerntier is a commercial and industrial fabrication company that employed both union and non-union employees between September 30, 2020 and April 30, 2022. Southerntier had Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) in effect with Local 112 and Local 58 respectively.
Our investigation found that during this period Southerntier failed to provide paid sick leave or a comparable benefit to its unionized workforce.
As a result of OAG’s investigation, Southerntier has agreed to pay $148,252.47 into a restitution fund. This money will be sent to current and former Southerntier employees who were part of a CBA between September 30, 2020 and April 30, 2022 and did not accrue paid sick leave and could not use the benefit.
All claims are being handled by Simpluris.
