Richard Alfred was quoted in the article, "Gov Allows Wage-Dispute Bill’s Triple Damages," published in the Boston Herald on April 15, 2008. The article reports on Massachusetts Bill S. 1059 becoming law, which automatically mandates treble damages to employers who lose wage disputes with employees regardless of whether the employer acted in good faith or not. Richard noted that, “With passage of (the bill), the cost of doing business in Massachusetts may have just gone up exponentially.”
