It’s not just #NewJersey. #WageTheft is a huge problem throughout the #USA.
And no surprise here:
“Wage theft disproportionately impacts #peopleofcolor, with #Latino workers the most likely to be victims, and #women more likely to experience it than men”
Strong #laborunions and strong pro #labor regulations and regulators are the best defense against this largest of all forms of theft.

The #NewYork State Department of Labor still needs to recover 63% of stolen #wages during a 5-year period analyzed by ProPublica and Documented.
The problem? An understaffed agency with poor tools for recovering wages and enforcing judgments.

The Economic Situation for Millions of Americans Is Still Incredibly Dire
https://jacobin.com/2023/08/joe-biden-pandemic-relief-economy-poverty
President Biden keeps touting improved economic indicators that don’t necessarily reflect the conditions of working people. Rather, data reveals an ongoing humanitarian crisis — one that Democrats were complicit in making, but so far refuse to acknowledge.

"For Nike the amount owed is mere pennies, but for the women who are struggling to put food on the table and have been forced to take on debt since the factory closed, the money owed would be life changing. It is simple: by refusing to pay workers in their supply chain, Nike is contributing to #WageTheft."

#Auspol #ClivePalmer #CoolumResort #WageTheft
Is this Australia's third richest man, Clive Palmer, stiffing workers again? Why anyone would risk working for him I do not understand.
“Workers told the ABC they had been locked out of the Palmer Coolum Resort and were unable to access their tools.
“They said they received termination notice letters last night.”

Why are so many doctors being forced to take out payday loans to make ends meet? Trying to answer this question led us to a giant monopoly that's been slowly plundering every part of our health care system.
