Feds sue Canton construction company for threat against employee in OT investigation

CANTON — The federal Department of Labor secured a restraining order against a Canton construction company being investigated for wage theft after officials say the owner threatened a former employee.

The Department of Labor, headed by former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, filed the lawsuit against Capone Bros., Inc. and Charles Capone last month seeking the restraining order and punitive damages for the alleged violation of anti-retaliation laws.

Department of Labor attorney Sheila Gholkar said in the complaint that the company owed back wages to employees who worked overtime in March.

After the department filed its complaint, the construction company's owner, Capone, said he would "go after" former employee Nicole Hanson, whom he perceived to be responsible for the investigation, Gholkar said. Capone called Hanson's new employer and accused her of being "sneaky and a thief."

how many people of Italian descent have that last name in the U.S. It is the first time I've heard that name, however, aside from Uncle Al.

Asking me to do genealogical research is probably a bit too much.
