Industry Talk: Rep. Hastings Probes Plight of HWA Security Guards

Filed under: Industry Talk,Washington — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 8:55 AM

   Now this  story pisses me off.  This company was tasked with protecting these federal facilities, had a default on contract, and for whatever reason has decided to stop payments to employees.  Pfffft. Hopefully Rep. Hastings will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on with this disaster. –Matt

Hastings probes plight of HWA security guards

September 26th, 2009

Approximately 200 private security guards throughout the Northwest from Portland to Boise who were abandoned in August by their employer — HWA security in Seattle — may end up going two months or more before federal officials can make up their missing wages.

Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., is aware of the hardship caused for HWA’s employees and has been working for a couple of weeks to help them recover their money, said Charlie Keller, the congressman’s spokesman.

Keller said Hastings has contacted the U.S. Department of Labor on behalf of the HWA employees.

“We want to hear from anyone who has this problem. (Everyone) will be paid for all their back pay. How long it will take I can’t say. People should call our Pasco office,” Keller said. The phone for that office is 509-543-9396.

Most HWA guards have continued to staff their posts since federal agencies hired other security companies to take over HWA’s defaulted contracts.
