Stop Tax Fraud Now
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the EASRCC are educating the public and taking action on fighting tax fraud issues like misclassification, wage theft, workmen compensation fraud, and human trafficking. When greedy contractors commit tax fraud, everyone is a victim.
