The wage theft committee of the Community of Friends in Action is beginning to plan a video documenting the experience of our friends in the jornalero community, of wage theft. "Wage theft" is exactly what it sounds like--the stealing of wages from employees. All over the United States unscrupulous employers are exploiting day workers--and many other workers--by hiring them for jobs and then paying them only a part of what was promised. In our community these documented thefts have amounted to as little as $400 and as much as $20,000. The committee is hoping to create a film that will demonstrate how such theft affects all of us. Stay tuned! Here, a committee member ponders the issue during a recent meeting. Share this:EmailFacebookTwitterMorePrintRedditLinkedInTumblrPinterest
