The U.S. Department of Labor's investigation into wage theft sparked a $13 million settlement to more than 3,800 Maryland corrections workers denied overtime.
Thousands of Maryland corrections workers will receive a total of $13 million in back pay amid an ongoing U.S. Department of Labor investigation into wage theft by the state government, in one of the country’s largest wage-theft settlements for prison workers.
He also apologized to the corrections workers and their union, AFSCME Maryland Council 3. The union started raising concerns under Moore’s predecessor, Larry Hogan , and initiated a federal complaint when their complaints met resistance. The payment is not the first in the ongoing complaint from AFSCME; the state repaid more than $450,000 in 2021 to workers at Jessup Correctional Institution, where concerns first arose.
