A key construction union is calling for the passage of a bill meant to crack down on wage theft at job sites in New York and make workers whole in the process.
But the bill is opposed by business organizations, who worry the measure goes too far and will make it more expensive to do business in the state.
At issue is wage theft, which has disproportionately affected vulnerable workers who are not represented by a union, Building and Construction Trades Council President Gary LaBarbera said in an interview.
