What the public record shows
Each fact comes from a government record or the company's own materials.
- 2.05 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 4.07 (BLS, 2024).
- 1.75 injuries per 100 full-time workers led to days away, restricted duty, or a job transfer in 2025.
- 12 OSHA serious, willful, or repeat citations in Texas, last 5 years, from 18 inspections since 2020.
- 2 layoff notices filed with the Texas Workforce Commission in the last 3 years, covering 125 workers.
- 1 of 3 U.S. Department of Labor wage and hour cases in Texas found violations, last 5 years.
- 27 unfair labor practice charges filed with the NLRB against this employer in Texas, last 5 years. A charge is an allegation, not a finding.
- 4 EEOC lawsuits or conciliations involving this employer, nationwide, last 5 years.
- The company's own materials describe 4 of 9 workplace practices Workarma looks for, including training or tuition programs, paid leave, and safety programs or metrics.
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.
