CANTON The federal Department of Labor secured a restraining order against a Canton construction company being investigated for wage theft after officials say the owner threatened a former employee.
The Department of Labor, headed by former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, filed the lawsuit against Capone Bros., Inc. and Charles Capone last month seeking the restraining order and punitive damages for the alleged violation of anti-retaliation laws.
