@CascadePBSNews investigation found Rotschy routinely overworked teenagers and assigned tasks known to be dangerous, prohibited for minors to perform. Despite this history of safety and labor violations the company is still receiving government contracts.
OE 701 is at the Port of Longview ahead of the board of commissioners meeting to urge the commissioners not to award a project to Rotschy. Rotschy has hundreds of child labor violations and fines and is on our Bad Bosses list. This company doesn’t belong in our community!
