Employer who stole nearly $3M in wages from 157 workers fined $500
People get worse penalties for shoplifting.
But stealing $3 million in wages is apparently not theft under capitalism.
fucking 500$??
Yep, and wage theft is extremely widespread companies regularly make millions from it
Annually, 17% of low-wage workers experience wage theft due to minimum wage violations (although workers in all demographic categories experience this kind of theft). In the 10 most populous U.S. states, 2.4 million workers lose $8 billion annually (an average of $3,300 per year for year-round workers) to minimum wage violations. (x)
Wage Theft Costs American Workers as Much as $50 Billion a Year (x)
