CORRECTION
A story by the Minneapolis Labor Review posted online January 16, 2019 at minneapolisunions.org and also published in the January 25, 2019 print issue contained three errors.
The story was headlined, “Teamsters Local 120 wins $1.25 million wage theft settlement for Lakeville Motor Express workers.”
In the second paragraph, the story incorrectly read: “Finish Line Express… has agreed to a $1.25 million settlement to resolve unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board.”
The story should have stated that the two entities agreeing to the settlement were LME, Inc. and Lakeville Motor Express.
In the ninth paragraph, the story incorrectly read: “LME/FLE will make payments directly to the impacted workers…”
The story should have read: “LME, Inc./Lakeville Motor Express will make payments directly to the impacted workers…”
In the tenth paragraph, the story incorrectly read: “If the company defaults on the payments… the total amount due to workers from LME/FLE would increase to $2.4 million and the NRLB will be taking enforcement action.”
The story should have read: “If the company defaults on the payments… the total amount due to workers from LME, Inc./Lakeville Motor Express would increase to $2.4 million and the NLRB will be taking enforcement action.”
The Labor Review regrets the errors.
