Dollar Tree and Family Dollar reached a settlement with U.S. regulators after facing allegations of safety violations at multiple stores.
NEW YORKU.S. regulators on Wednesday announced a settlement with the company that runs Dollar Tree and Family Dollar aimed at improving worker safety at thousands of the bargain stores across the country.
Under the agreement, the chains operated by Dollar Tree Inc. are required to find the "root causes" of violations that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has repeatedly cited at multiple stores and fix them within two years, the department said. The agreement, which was entered into last week, covers all Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores in OSHA’s federal jurisdiction — totaling 10,000 locations nationwide, according to Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda. It also calls for the company to maintain a 24-hour hotline for safety complaints and anti-retaliation protections for workers, Nanda added.
Beyond these fines, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar is paying $1.4 million in penalties to settle existing contested and open inspections of similar alleged violations, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
