New York Bakery Told to Shut Down Over Workers' Comp Violations

Posted on Apr 10, 2008

New York State has shut down the Arthur Avenue Bakery, famous in the Bronx for their cannoli and bread, because of widespread wage, overtime, and workers' compensation law violations.

The State Workers' Compensation Board issued a stop-work order Monday night after discovering that the bakery has not carried workers' compensation insurance for their employees in over a year.

In addition to putting their workers at risk by failing to purchase coverage, the bakery was paying its employees about $3/hr. less than New York's $7.15 minimum wage and requiring 12 hour days without overtime pay.

The bakery may reopen when they have repaid the $140,000 in back pay and $37,500 in workers' compensation penalties.
