Nassau to close living wage loophole

Companies doing business with Nassau County can expect to undergo added scrutiny when applying for an exemption to the county law requiring them to pay workers a living wage, under changes announced Wednesday. According to the new rules signed by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, the administration will have the right to deny a waiver application to the living wage law for a company that is a subsidiary of a larger, parent organization.  Credit: Howard Schnapp
