About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)

The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Synopsis: In June 2007, the Mississippi Supreme Court reinstated a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against Fluor Daniel Services Corp. by African-American workers. The plaintiffs claim a supervisor referred to them with a racial slur and forced them to do harder jobs than a group of Mexican employees. The suit was dismissed by the Jasper County Circuit Court in 2005, but the Supreme Court ruled the plaintiffs raised issues of fact that should go before a jury.
