When a company doing business as the West Virginia Labor Law Poster Service approached employers about purchasing the state’s required workplace safety and employee rights posters, many were quick to pull out their checkbooks. However, what the employers didn’t know was that they could get the posters for free from the government.
“This business is masquerading as a governmental organization in order to sell posters for outrageous amounts,” said Attorney General Darrell McGraw in a press release. “This deception is particularly problematic because the posters are free from legitimate government agencies.”
