In 2019, construction workers raised alarms about US Framing West Inc., leading to a California Department of Justice investigation into alleged labor law violations and tax evasion.
Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta stated that US Framing West failed to pay over $2.5 million in state payroll taxes and underpaid workers by $40,000 on a public works project.
Bonta emphasized that US Framing West believes it can operate outside California labor laws, stressing that no company is above the law.
The DOJ has filed 31 criminal charges against US Framing West and two employees, including grand theft and payroll tax evasion, all of which have been denied.
