A small group of protesters picketed Tuesday outside the entrance of Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.
The workers were protesting what officials at the Empire State Regional Council of Carpenters say is the failure of several stores within the Common to pay the prevailing wage for carpenters working on renovations and other projects being done in their stores.
The stores are paying 40 to 50 percent below the prevailing wage, which should be about $53 an hour including health benefits, said Daniel Souza, the union's Southeast Region Team Leader for Westchester County.
A Woodbury Common spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
