What the public record shows
Each fact comes from a government record or the company's own materials.
- 1.55 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers in 2025, from OSHA injury reports for its Texas sites. The national rate for the same industries is 2.01 (BLS, 2024).
- 1.40 injuries per 100 full-time workers led to days away, restricted duty, or a job transfer in 2025.
- 2 OSHA serious, willful, or repeat citations in Texas, last 5 years, from 17 inspections since 2020.
- 14 unfair labor practice charges filed with the NLRB against this employer in Texas, last 5 years. A charge is an allegation, not a finding.
- The company's own materials describe 6 of 9 workplace practices Workarma looks for, including training or tuition programs, paid leave, and mental health or assistance benefits.
- Files a federal report for an employee health plan (Form 5500, 2024 plan year).
- Employer retirement contributions averaged $6,041 per active participant in 2024, from Form 5500 filings. The median among employers Workarma tracks is about $2,300.
- CEO pay was 93 times the median employee's pay, company-wide, in its latest proxy statement.
Government enforcement records are mostly complaint-driven. A short record is not proof of good conditions, and a long one can reflect a large workforce or active reporting.
