The Graton Day Labor Center plays loose with both state and federal statutes. It is currently under investigation by both the Sonoma County District Attorney's office and the California Contractor's State Licensing Board for potential violations of contractor licensing regulations and Worker's Compensation Insurance irregularities.
Specifically it advertises its membership for professional labor employment requiring a state issued contractors license without verifying that such a license is held. As well, it informs homeowners that their property insurance suffices to meet California state worker's compensation insurance requirements. Such a claim is fallacious and puts both the homeowner and the laborer at risk, potentially catastrophic.
