The U.S. Department of Labor announced Monday it's suing Aggregate Industries of Golden for more than $1 million in back wages due 302 employees.

Aggregate Industries is a subsidiary of Bardon US Corp. of Baltimore, Md. Aggregate Industries produces aggregated-based construction materials.

The Department of Labor said an investigation determined Aggregate Industries failed to pay employees overtime from June 25, 2005, through June 3, 2006. The company paid drivers per truckload regardless of the number of hours worked, the government said.

The Department of Labor said the company has agreed to come into compliance for the future, but has refused to pay the back wages.
