Re: Your Public Records Request
Dear Mr. Trahan:
I write in response to your public records request received on January 26, 2017 and made
pursuant to the Massachusetts public records law, G.L. c. 66, 10. In an e-mail to Emalie
Gainey in our Press Office, you requested copies of records held by the Office of the Attorney
General (AGO), specifically "the complaints you all have received" against the companies
referenced in your January 24, 2017 e-mail, the relevant portions of which are reproduced below:
We're researching a company called Iowa Pacific Holdings. They operate railroads
across the country, including in Massachusetts.
We've been told that numerous former employees the Cape Cod Central Railroad and
Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, which are operated by Cape Rail Inc., which in turn is
owned by Iowa Pacific Holdings out of Chicago, have filed complaints with the
Massachusetts Attorney General's office in the past few weeks over how they were
treated when they were terminated, i.e., wages unpaid, etc.
We have enclosed thirty-nine (39) pages of records that may be responsive to your
request and are subject to disclosure under the public records law, G.L. c. 66, 10 and G.L. c. 4,
7, cl. 26. Identifying information pertaining to complainants has been redacted from the
records in accordance with G.L. c. 4, 7, cl. 26(c) insofar as the disclosure of such information
may constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. See also 940 CMR 11.04(1).
The public records law permits a custodian of public records to charge requesters for
certain costs associated with responding to public records requests. See G.L. c. 66, lO(d); and
950 CMR 32.07. Further, G.L. c. 66, lO(d)(ii)(B) provides that no fees shall be charged for the
first 4.0 hours of labor required to respond to a request. As only 2.0 hours of chargeable labor
were required to respond to this request, there are no fee fees to be paid in this instance.

You have the right to appeal this response to the Supervisor of Records pursuant to
G.L. c. 66, 1OA(a), and to seek judicial review of an unfavorable decision by commencing a
civil action in the superior court under G.L. c. 66, lOA(c).
Very truly yours,

work hours I put in, which equals to $1,637.21 before taxes and my accrued sick time of 38.88 which equals to

On 12/28/16 Mass Coastal Employees received a mass email from
there is a mandatory meeting scheduled for 12/29/16 at 3:pm to be held in our Onset Headquarters. I was on
approved PTO but did attend the meeting because it was deemed mandatory. At the meeting &-
t (General Superintendent) stating that
(Roadmaster} announced that Iowa Pacific Holdings had instructed them to terminate 95% of the work force.
They informed us that management would be retained and then proceeded to list the number of names that would be
retained instead of the ones being terminated due to the termination list being a lot longer. It was also stated that
Iowa Pacific holdings had not forwarded our final checks and did not have a date/time on when the employees would
receive final checks. Tony then said he would send out an email on Friday 12/30/16 if Iowa Pacific was going to
forward checks. On Friday December 30th at 12:1 Opm est sent an email saying that no checks had
been cut on 12/29/16 and he would update the employees if Iowa Pacific was going to send them for a Saturday
delivery. On 12/30/16@2:49pm e s t . HR Manager from Iowa Pacific sent: an email saying
that final checks would not be ready until next week.but she said the letters could be distributed "in the meantime".
On January 3, 2017 sent an email update saying that there hadn't been any update on the status of final
checks. On January 5, 2017 an email was forwarded from I Payroll Specialist from Iowa Pacific
