BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — A Naval Base Kitsap contractor must pay an additional $239,000 in wages to 26 workers after an investigation by the federal Department of Labor found they had been under-compensated for their work. It’s the second time Nova Group Inc. has been found in violation of prevailing wage requirements. The company’s work in Kitsap includes $21.5 million in projects on the Bangor waterfront and $17.8 million in dry dock work at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The workers included carpenters, forklift operators, pipefitters and electricians. They were classified as general laborers, positions that did not pay prevailing wages and benefits.
