Former employees of the western Kentucky candle factory destroyed in last December’s deadly tornado outbreak are alleging Mayfield Consumer Products retaliated against them for cooperating with an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) probe.
The charge – filed with the National Labor Relations Board on behalf of 20 former Mayfield Consumer Products employees – accuses the company of “continuously retaliating” against these workers after they cooperated in an OSHA probe that attorneys say led to $40,000 dollars in fines for seven worker safety violations earlier this year.
