Who We Are
BustedNE was established to help reveal misconduct in the construction industry.
When a developer actively takes part in misclassification, it negatively impacts our community; depriving the state of tax revenue that are needed to pay for public services and benefits. Together, we can expose unlawful developers and make a positive change.
Wage & tax fraud report
Construction industry tax fraud by businesses misclassifying full-time workers as independent contractors or paying them “off-the-books” robs workers of over $811 million in overtime pay, leading to a combined state and federal tax loss of nearly $8.4 billion.
As many as 20.5% of construction sites affecting over 1.3 million workers nationwide are affected by these illegal practices.
