On April 13, 2007, the manufacturer, Forest Uniform Corp., was found to be in violation of the 1986 law requiring all apparel manufacturers to be registered with the State of New York. That law, enacted because of widespread and entrenched violations in the garment industry, requires registrants to provide data about the number of their employees and proof of workers' compensation coverage, as well as detailed contact information for owners, partners and corporate officers, so that employers found in violation of labor laws cannot disappear and avoid liability.
Three weeks later, the manufacturer, Forest Uniform Corp., was issued a second Notice of Violation for continued non-compliance with the law. In November 2007, the Labor Department issued a Notice of Violations to the owner of the manufacturer, Forest Uniform Corp., for failure to maintain payroll records for all employees and failure to furnish employees with a wage statement with each paycheck.
