LAKE IN THE HILLS, Ill. (WLS) -- Subcontractors who plow the snow in several suburbs are on strike. They said the management company that hired them has not paid them this season.

The subcontractors are not in a union, but say they are united in this cause. After working all winter to clear snow, they say a company owned by Mark Krog refused to pay them. Tony Figueroa, who is married with four kids, said he's owed $14,000.

Shortly after the demonstration began, Krog called police to make sure they stayed off his property. Krog said he has not paid the sub-contractors because of various claims of property damage, falsified time records and no shows.

Emanuel Perez denies those claims. He said Krog owes him more than $30,000.
