Mass. attorney general cites rehab company for $1.1M for unpaid wages to nearly 500 workers
The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office has cited a nursing rehabilitation company with multiple locations across the state for failing to pay hundreds of its employees on time for work completed during a two-week period last year, the office announced Tuesday. The citation against Swansea-based Alpha Healthcare and its owner, William Segal, includes both penalties and wages, and totals nearly $1.1 million, the attorney general's office said in a press release. Alpha Healthcare did not respond to a request for comment from MassLive Tuesday evening. Massachusetts' wage and hour laws require that employers compensate employees for their work within six days of the end of a pay period. State worker protections also demand that this compensation include full and complete payment for all work that was completed during that pay period. The attorney general's office began investigating Alpha Healthcare after receiving complaints from multiple employees reporting that the company had not paid their wages on time, the office said. It determined that Alpha Healthcare failed to pay its workers for work performed between Sept. 15, 2024, and Sept. 28, 2024, in a manner that complied with state wage and hour laws. The attorney general's office asserts that the company's failure to make timely wage payments impacted all of its nearly 500 employees across each of its five private rehabilitation facilities, the office said. Alpha Healthcare operates locations in Fall River, Franklin, Newburyport, Swansea and Stoughton. Restitution for the company's unpaid wages was paid directly to the impacted employees when a receiver was appointed to oversee financial management of Alpha Healthcare, the attorney general's office said. 'When employers violate our laws, including by failing to make timely wage payments, the economic security of workers and their families is unfairly put at risk,' Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell said in the release. 'My office will continue to enforce our laws to protect and empower workers, reminding employers that Massachusetts is serious about protecting workers' rights.'

Judge rules J&J unit must pay $442M in antitrust case
This story was originally published on MedTech Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily MedTech Dive newsletter. A federal judge ruled on Thursday that a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary must pay $442 million in damages after a jury found last month that the company violated antitrust rules by withholding support to hospitals that bought reprocessed catheters. District Judge James Selna ruled that J&J must pay triple the $147 million in damages determined by the jury, as allowed under antitrust law. The amount is separate from costs and attorneys' fees. Daniel Vukelich, CEO of the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors, said the ruling was 'a seismic result.' A J&J spokesperson wrote in an email that the company plans to appeal but will comply with the ruling and any court-ordered relief in the meantime. 'We strongly disagree with the jury's verdict and believe it will not withstand appellate review,' the spokesperson wrote. Innovative Health, which sells reprocessed catheters, filed the lawsuit against J&J subsidiary Biosense Webster in 2019. The company claimed J&J had a monopoly on heart-mapping catheters, and that it tied support for its Carto 3 mapping system to purchases of mapping and ultrasound catheters. A jury found on May 16 that J&J had violated the Sherman Act and California's Cartwright Act by withholding support from reprocessed versions of J&J's catheters. Reprocessed devices have been used in a procedure before, and are disinfected or sterilized. AMDR's Vukelich said the ruling 'sends an unmistakable message to all device manufacturers: anti-competitive, anti-reprocessing tactics won't be tolerated by the courts or by hospitals committed to cost savings, sustainability, and patient care.' The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division.
