Poetic Justice

The following is a true “only in America” story. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently recovered more than $1.4 million in back wages for 237 workers of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Vermont Service Center. Apparently, the workers were misclassified and not paid the prevailing wage as required. Perhaps DOL should seize the momentum and conduct an audit of other government worksites. Maybe some unannounced visits to other service centers are in order. Yes, this one does give me a great big chuckle.
