What the public record shows
Each fact comes from a government record or the company's own materials.
- 3.75 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 3.84 (BLS, 2024).
- 2.63 injuries per 100 full-time workers led to days away, restricted duty, or a job transfer in 2025.
- 4 OSHA serious, willful, or repeat citations in Texas, last 5 years, from 17 inspections since 2020.
- 2 layoff notices filed with the Texas Workforce Commission in the last 3 years, covering 2,036 workers.
- 1 of 1 U.S. Department of Labor wage and hour case in Texas found violations, last 5 years.
- $1,597 in back wages found owed to Texas workers, last 3 years.
- 6 unfair labor practice charges filed with the NLRB against this employer in Texas, last 5 years. A charge is an allegation, not a finding.
- 1 EEOC lawsuit or conciliation involving this employer, nationwide, last 5 years.
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.
