WAGE THEFT: The Crime Wave No One Talks About
Millions of workers in low-wage jobs are being robbed of billions of dollars their employers owe them. This happens every day.
A new video by Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) shows how the practice of wage theft is a national epidemic no one is paying attention to.
IWJ says 60 percent of nursing home workers, 100 percent of poultry plant workers and 90 percent of restaurant workers are denied their fair pay atone time or another.
It's unfortunate but many workers don't know they can get justice if they contact the local Wage and Hour office of the Department of Labor.
