Business Owner Forces Drivers to Work Over Hours
March 16, 2014
The co-owner of Wisla Express, a transportation company, was accused of forcing his employees to drive over the hours allowed by federal safety regulations. The judge issued the harshest punishment allowable under a plea deal, which included a 2-year prison sentence and a $20,000 fine. Justice served.
Wisla Express will pay a $75,000 fine, but will continue to operate as a passenger transport company.
