Charleston, TN, July 31, 2025
Wright Brothers Construction Company is appalled by the recent altercation involving one of our employees at a landfill site in Haywood County, North Carolina. Wright Brothers is engaging an independent investigator, and has placed the employee who was involved on leave, while we uncover all specifics of this incident, so that we can determine actions and learn from this disturbing incident. Our employee’s behavior does not reflect our company values and is contrary to our longstanding policies of professionalism and respect.
Wright Brothers Construction is committed to fostering a work environment, and public presence built on respect, accountability, and integrity. Regardless of circumstances, threats, hateful language, and discrimination are not permitted within our company or on our projects. We are initiating additional training for all supervisory personnel focused on conflict resolution, respectful communication, and maintaining professionalism in difficult situations.
To those affected and to the public, we express our sincere regret and assurance that this matter is being handled with the seriousness it deserves. We will continue to investigate thoroughly, take appropriate action, and ensure our team represents the values we hold as a company.
