Rivian subcontractors have agreed to pay $315,000 in back wages and penalties to settle a lawsuit brought by the state alleging the companies owed overtime pay to 59 Mexican laborers who helped build the startup’s electric vehicle plant in Normal.
An Amazon delivery truck moves through the assembly line April 11, 2022, at the Rivian electric vehicle plant in Normal. The joint investigation with the Illinois Department of Labor began in July 2021 after the state received a tip from IBEW Local 197 about alleged workplace violations. The investigation found that after Rivian hired Guangzhou MINO Equipment to build out its production line, the China-based company subcontracted work to several firms, including Florida-based BIW Automotive Solution.
The state is still pursuing the lawsuit against a third defendant, Mexico-based SDS Industrialservicio, which did not participate in settlement talks, according to Alvar Ayala, head of workplace rights for the attorney general’s office.
