Any worker who has rendered services in connection with the initial construction, installation, maintenance, repair, extension, reconstruction or subsequent construction of a cable television system and any labor union which represents members who perform services of the same general type as that performed by such workers, shall be vested with standing to maintain an action for the recovery of the difference between compensation actually paid for services rendered and prevailing rates stated in a report filed by an appointee. The franchisee, contractor and subcontractor, if any, shall be jointly and severally liable for any such damages.
Any employee of a franchisee who, subsequent to the filing with the franchisee of a written report by an appointee determining a prevailing rate for that employee, has been compensated by the franchisee in an amount or amounts less than such prevailing rate, and any labor union which represents members performing services of the same general type as such an employee, shall be vested with standing to maintain an action against the franchisee for the recovery of any such difference between amounts of compensation actually paid by the franchisee and the determined prevailing rate.
