California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the filing of 31 felony charges against US Framing West for wage theft and tax evasion, costing $2.6 million.
Bonta stated, 'For some reason US Framing West seems to think it can operate outside the prevailing wage laws of California. I'm here with a simple message: They cannot.'
The company allegedly dodged over $2.5 million in state payroll taxes and underpaid workers on a public housing project, shorting them at least $40,000.
Bonta accused US Framing West of grand theft, payroll tax evasion, and filing false documents, highlighting their hiring of unlicensed subcontractors and underreported payroll.
