The majority of these stolen #wages are never recovered by workers.
Between 2017 to 2020, $3.24bn in stolen wages were recovered by the US Department of Labor, state labor departments and attorney generals, and through class- and collective-action litigation.
#Wage theft disproportionately affects lower-wage workers, women, people of color, and immigrant workers, and negatively affects local #economies and #tax #revenues.
There are numerous forms of wage theft, from #employers not #compensating workers for time #worked, #violating minimum #wage and #overtime #laws, misclassifying #employees as independent #contractors, not providing #legally required meal breaks, confiscating worker tips, or illegally taking #deductions from worker wages."

Two York Council electric bin lorries were unable to operate when it rained.
An #FOI showed they stopped working for a combined total of 481 days between Jan 2021 & Nov 2022.
Head of environmental services Ben Grabham said there had been "a few reliability issues".

I thought your homeless normally roam around with carts -- at least that's how they're depicted on TV. Hard to steal a #bike with a cart. 🤔
Here, most #thefts aren't chance* thefts. They're done by professionals*. So yeah, they go around with tools to break locks/chains. Sometimes the method is simple -- the victim parks, gets off the bike, doesn't lock it, turns their back to buy from a store or street vendor. And the thief casually rides off with their bike. 🤦🏻♀️
