Colorado bill aims to protect construction workers from wage theft

(Colorado Newsline) An upcoming bill in the Colorado Legislature will aim to protect construction workers from pervasive wage theft in the industry.

The bill would make prime contractors responsible for their subcontractors’ payments to laborers, so if a painter or drywall professional is underpaid or not paid at all, that prime contractor ultimately would be liable for the worker’s wage theft claim.
