Fed Judge Certifies Class Action Against Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.

Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc., long known for providing stone quarries and asphalt plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio, also provides civil construction services for shale well sites. In August 2021, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced a plea deal with Hawbaker to pay back $20 million in alleged “stolen wages” from over 1,000 Hawbaker employees (see PA Construction Co. Glenn Hawbaker Pays $20M for “Stolen Wages”). According to Shapiro’s office, Hawbaker deposited retirement funds from one set of employees into a retirement fund account that benefits other employees, including Hawbaker management. Following the plea deal, three former Hawbaker employees filed a civil lawsuit against the company, asking a federal judge to convert their lawsuit into a class action (see Judge Asked to Certify Class Action Against Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.). On Tuesday, June 6, the judge granted their request.
