A group of 10 local unions are suing National Grid after thousands of workers haven't been paid some of their hard-earned wages for nearly a month, even forcing some to miss mortgage payments, according to court papers filed yesterday accusing the utility giant of dragging its feet on fixing a payroll glitch.
Local branches of the Utility Workers Union of America and United Steel Workers filed suit in Middlesex Superior Court, claiming National Grid breached their collective bargaining agreement after failing "for approximately 30 days to pay wages due," paying some workers late or partial amounts, and neglecting "to take steps to correct the problems with its payroll system."
It's forced some workers to miss mortgage and child support payments in addition to absorbing "non-payment" fees, according to the complaint.
The Herald reported last week that a new payroll system installed at National Grid experienced what company officials called "software errors," robbing part of its 17,000-employee workforce — including hundreds of Bay State workers pulling 18-hour shifts in other states to clean up superstorm Sandy's mess — of their proper paychecks.
National Grid officials said in a statement yesterday they take "the timely and accurate compensation of its employees very seriously" and called fixing the problems a "top priority."
