My company takes a mandatory 401k withdrawl from my check is this legal

Whenever we work on a prevailing wage job a mandatory deduction from my check is taken and put in a 401k account.Can they do this without my permission,we get no choice in this or which company it goes to.Also we haven't had a statement for over a year so i'm not sure if my money is okay or not.I would like to know if there's a watchdog group for 401ks.Is this legal and is there anything besides quiting my job that i can do.

401k contributions are voluntary. You should take it up with HR and if they do not help you, talk to your state employment office.
