For legislation relative to a prevailing wage for trash and recycling collectors, moving contractors, and motor bus pupil transporters. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish prevailing wage requirements for three categories of workers: trash and recycling collectors, moving contractors, and motor bus pupil transporters. The bill requires that contracts for these services with the state, counties, cities, towns, or school districts include stipulations setting prescribed rates of wages, as determined by the Commissioner, to be paid to the workers. Employees who believe they have been underpaid can file a complaint with the Attorney General and pursue civil action to recover treble damages, lost wages, and legal fees. The bill aims to ensure these workers are paid fair and standardized wages for their labor.
