Sheet Metal Workers Int’l Assn v. Labor Commissioner

In Sheet Metal Workers Int’l Assn v. Labor Commissioner and Red Rose Roofing v. Labor Commissioner (Case No. 42656, unpub., 3/22/06), the Nevada Supreme Court held that unions which report prevailing wage violations have a right to be heard at the Commissioner’s administrative hearings on employer objections to preliminary findings of violation. The Court also upheld the state statute and regulation imposing penalties for employer failures to provide payroll reports on time (in that case, the penalties for two weeks’ worth of late reports came to $54,000).
