action lawsuit filed last month, six professional fire sprinkler
fitters who worked for Aero Automatic Sprinkler Company, a subsidiary of
Kiewit Corporation, allege they were denied payment under the California
Labor Code of minimum prevailing wages, overtime wages, travel, daily
subsistence, health and welfare payments for work on at least five large
commercial construction projects. Rose Law also alleges the workers were
denied mandatory rest periods, and Aero failed to employ apprentice fire
sprinkler fitters on the public works projects, as required by
California law.
According to Rose Law, Aero Automatic Sprinkler Company has its
principal place of business in Phoenix, Arizona, maintains a branch
office California, and performs sprinkler work all over the United
States. Aero is wholly owned by Kiewit Corporation, an Sprinkler System Installation Richardson international
construction, engineering and mining company with North American
headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. Kiewit is one of the largest
construction companies in the world. Aero has filed a Corporate
Disclosure Statement and Certificate of Interest in the federal lawsuit
on behalf of its parent Kiewit Corporation.
Rose Law alleges the workers installed fire sprinklers on private jobs,
including Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks,
California and San Jose Regional Medical Center in San Jose, California,
and on public works projects including California Department of Veterans
Affairs (CalVet) Home in Fresno, CA and California Polytechnic
University (CalPoly) Center for Science in San Luis Obispo, California.
Any current or former employee of Aero may contact Rose Law for more
information.
The lawsuit, brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the
California Labor Code, and California's Unfair Business Practices Act,
seeks unspecified damages for the six named workers plus all other fire
sprinkler fitters employed by Aero during the last four years.
