Too many people face unfair conditions at work every day. Too many employers do not pay what we should be paid by law. Why is this allowed to happen? The Workers Action Centre is launching a campaign against Wage Theft.
Wages are stolen when:
- We are not paid for all the hours that we work, or we are not paid at all
- We are not paid minimum wage, overtime pay or for other legal rights
- We are wrongly treated as independent contractors or self employed
- We are charged a fee to get a job
When employers steal our wages and break the law – this is wage theft! The government must take action to crack down on bad bosses and stop wage theft – many US states have passed Wage Theft laws. It can be done!
