Who Is Oldcastle APG West and Why Are They Facing a Pay Transparency Lawsuit?

Oldcastle APG is a CRH company and part of one of the largest global networks of manufacturers in the architectural products industry. Oldcastle APG is the leading North American manufacturer of concrete masonry, paving, lawn and garden products, with over 200 operating locations across 38 states and in Canada. The company employs workers across multiple Washington facilities under brands including Quality Concrete, Granite Precasting, Utility Vault, Primex Manufacturing, Barrette Outdoor Living, and MoistureShield — all of which are named defendants in this case. This lawsuit matters to you if you applied for a job at any of these Washington operations, because the claim is that their postings left out salary information you were legally entitled to see before deciding whether to apply.

What Did Oldcastle APG West Allegedly Do Wrong in Its Washington Job Postings Between 2023 and 2026?

Plaintiff claims that defendants violated Washington law, RCW 49.58.110, when they allegedly did not disclose wage and benefits information on job postings for open Washington positions.

Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act requires employers with 15 or more employees to include the wage scale or salary range — and a general description of all benefits and other compensation — in every job posting. The law was designed to give all applicants equal access to pay information and reduce wage gaps across the workforce.

The lawsuit covers Katherine Wright as plaintiff, filing on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated applicants for employment against Oldcastle APG West, Inc.; Central Premix Concrete Products Co.; Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc.; Granite Precasting & Concrete; Oldcastle Infrastructure; Primex Manufacturing; Quality Concrete; Torrent Resources; Utility Vault; Utility Vault Company; Utility Vault Company, Inc.; Oldcastle Precast Inc; Oldcastle Lawn & Garden, Inc.; Oldcastle Services, Inc.; Barrette Outdoor Living Inc.; U.S. Fence, Inc.; and MoistureShield, Inc.

The defendants deny all of Plaintiff’s allegations and maintain they have not violated any law. They agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. If you applied for a Washington position at any of these companies during the class period, this case directly affects your legal rights whether you file a claim or not.

For a complete walkthrough of how to navigate the claims process and what to expect after a settlement is reached, see the guide on how to claim a class action settlement payment step by step on AllAboutLawyer.com. Because this payment is classified as non-wage damages and will be reported on a 1099, also check whether your Oldcastle APG West settlement payment is taxable income before you file.

Are You Part of the Oldcastle APG West Pay Transparency Class Action?

Defendants’ records show you are part of the settlement class if you applied for a job opening in Washington with the defendants between January 1, 2023, and April 28, 2026, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range for the position.

Here is exactly how to know whether this settlement covers you.

You likely qualify if:

• You received a mailed notice from Simpluris with a Notice ID and PIN — this means company records identify you as a class member

You do NOT qualify if:

• Your application was for a position located outside Washington state
• Your application fell entirely outside the January 1, 2023 – April 28, 2026 class period
• The posting you responded to did include the required wage and benefits disclosures
