Ex-Color Arts Workers Cut Deal

RACINE, WI—A total of 215 former Color Arts employees received checks from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) in a settlement of wage claims and plant closing violations by a former owner, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported. More than $1 million, or about $4,775 per employee, was dispersed to those employees who chose to accept the settlement offer stemming from last June's unannounced plant closing here.
