Three Queens construction companies have pleaded guilty to withholding more than $370,000 from 150 workers, according to state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
The companies, Lotus-C Corporation of Jackson Heights, Johnco Contracting Inc. of Bayside, and RCM Painting Inc. of Maspeth, failed to provide workers with overtime wages between 2012 and 2017. Additionally, the employers had the workers, who were painters, sign a form stating that they were independent contractors instead of employees, the attorney general said.
The companies also underreported their staff numbers to the state, which resulted in major underpayment of unemployment contributions to the state, Schneiderman said.
As part of their plea deal the owners of the companies have dissolved their offices and are banned for five years from bidding on public works contracts in New York State. They will also pay a total of $371,447.01 for unpaid wages and $359,747.86 in unpaid unemployment contributions to the State Department of Labor, the attorney general said.

Wonder how many of their workers were ILLEGAL? Wouldn't surprise me that these workers are illegals who are suing. This country has no shame with letting ILLEGALS sue in this country without deporting them.
So, when do all swindled, fleeced, rooked, duped, bilked and scammed, New York State taxpayers' get a settlement for a lifetime of openly practiced corruption, graft and endless greed that has been FOISTED on to We, the People, I shouldn't wonder?
Yesterday, February 10, 2018, gubernatorial candidate Joel Giambra, correctly accused our disgraced Governor, 'Gargoyle Andy (of the dynastic Cuomo crime family enterprise), of running his administration like the Mafia. Giambra, who is of Italian extraction, referenced testimony coming out of the federal corruption trial of former long time Cuomo aide and confidante Joseph Percoco. In the case, Percoco borrowed from the fictional mob TV show 'The Sopranos' by referring to money as 'ziti.'
There's also been testimony that Percoco, who is accused of accepting bribes from companies with business before the state, put pressure on those wanting to leave the administration.
❝Cuomo and Percoco ran the Governor's office like the Mafia——with bribery, a pay to play protection racket, and a life long membership that punished individuals who tried to leave,❞ said Giambra.
So what does a nameless, state Democratic Party spokesliar, I mean spokesperson shoot back with? ❝These ugly anti-Italian slurs are the latest way that Giambra is trying to desperately breathe life into a campaign that is anemic.❞
Hey, 'Gargoyle Andy' (and your Albany Executive Chamber of openly practiced criminal henchmen): You don't CHANGE the Mafia by JOINING IT! Besides, at the end of the day, TRUTH is STILL TRUTH——and, the truth doesn't care what any and all DemonRat spokesliars have to say, all of which continues to DEVALUE truth itself (not to mention facts, evidence and proof)——or don't any of those virtues matter anymore in your perpetually crooked-and-corrupt criminal enterprise (if ever)?

Last (who prefers to remain) anonymous:
Thank you for putting Joel Giambra's name out there, for he is virtually the only candidate in the Republican party running. And the only candidate who is campaigning on sensible government reform and common sense budgeting and policies.
Joel Giambra for Governor of N.Y. Abolish the hack neoliberal democrats. Destroy the machine.

Update:
In Lovett's column in the Daily News today, he listed a group of Republicans favored to be the opponent for Mario's son, and not one of them is familiar or distinguished from each other. And Lovett, who's suppose to be some political wonk, does not mention candidate Joel Giambra.
This is Bernie Sanders all over again regarding the corporate media's shiftless reporting.
But it's more of the first stage of the Ghandi's primer for activism; first they ignore you...
