Boss when you go to the bathroom: YOU'RE STEALING TIME
Also boss: Why don't you come in in 10-15 prior to get ready for your shift?!
I had a manager not expect us to start heading to the bathroom to wash our hands before punching out two minutes before our shift ended
Steal from the employer go to jail, steal from the employee go to the bank.
truth
Its amazing that this happens in America 2023. Its like many of the businesses are basically plantations.
@@sayitaintso7544exactly white people haven't changed
funny saying but in real life it made me suicidal
Sick
It's nice to see this important topic being covered by a major news source. A lot of news will cover theft from shoplifting, but never cover wage theft.
Add Lyft & Uber to this list! They take FAR too much wages from hard working drivers who use their own cars
Kroger didn't pay my for a Month during the holidays last year. Costing me Thousands of dollars and still trying to catch up.The union finally has filed a class action law suit.This is just the icings on the cake.... I called out Favoritism years ago and have endured countless abuses, everything from sexual comments to agro...mobbing management , in a totally hostile work environment . Corporations need to be held accountable and pay equal taxes
I've been "shortened" on my paycheck a quite of few times. But I let it go. However, with the cost of living for working folks who take public transportation, which alot of time doesn't turn out to be reliable in order for us to be on time for the start of our shifts, I for one can't just say, "oh well, I'll be okay"; NO! Not no more boss. Sorry but I have to live with deadlines and financial responsibilities, too.
The federal government and corporations are hand in glove. If you blame one, blame the other, as well. The fed already takes about 40% of earnings, if not more, from poor people. Rich people pay nothing because they take depreciations and other write offs.
Best answer I've seen and straight to the point.. Welcome to America!
I also blame voters who don’t do their due diligence. In fact, the ultra rich take advantage it to install corrupt politicians into the federal government to pass laws favorable to their bottom lines. Then again, you can’t just blame the whole federal government. There are good people in there like Bernie Sanders who dedicate themselves fighting for the common folks. They just aren’t listened to by the average voter who buy into this politics as team sport bs that the ultra rich have created.
Don’t you ever pretend you care about “crime” and all that if you care more about shoplifting than you care about wage theft, if you’re more vocal about shoplifting than wage theft
Corporations are aided in their criminal wage theft, when news stations don’t report on it. I’ve seen little coverage on the recent news of Marriotts 9yrs of wage theft. I see very little coverage on wage theft at all. It’s so important yet so many news stations are ignoring it. This is wild that there are some still waiting for what they are owed. There should be interest for every day they don’t get paid. Ty for posting something on this.
Albertsons/Safeway are still doing this. Missing OT, Incorrect hours, just stupid.
I had a company tell me it was their policy not to pay overtime. The owner would stand by the door and write down the names of the employees that left at 5pm. I didn't last very long there.
Noo way! So he really expected you to work after hours for free and stood there to enforce his sweatshop(slavery) policy? I would have to hide a Tilerec recorder on me and catch his every word.
Most employers take full advantage of employees language barriers and immigration status
I have been at my current job for 14 years and some change, and i recently found out that, presently, I only make $1 over starting wages. Im being robbed by capitalist.
I worked for a company that didn’t want to pay the overtime I worked for, so I told them I had a legal right to the money and said I was gonna get an attorney so they wrote me a check for the overtime hours and decided to let me go I was only there for two weeks and they were already trying to steal my hard earned money
Shouldve kept track until after probation and then slap them with a lawsuit
Expose the thieves to broad day light for what they are. THIEVES. ALSO PUT THEM UP ON GOOGLE MAPS AS THE THIEVES THAT THEY ARE.
They seriously need to check out the trucking industry all aspects of it.. You talking about a rip off job.. And drivers have caught on.. They can't find drivers because people don't want to work their lives away for free.
We need stricter labor laws and we need them yesterday. We need a cap on how much top executives can earn. How did we allow things to get this bad?
Tax the rich! No individual should have a salary higher than a million dollars imo. Every red cent after $1,000,000.00 corporate executives make should be forced to go to something/someone else who needs it more than those hoarders. And if the executives want to complain, then they should be forced to go work their lowest employee’s job and live off their salary for three months.
The biggest part of wage theft is not letting people use their benefits. Benefits are as much a part of wages as money is. Not letting you use them is like taking money back.
You guys need to look at the Airlines and flight attendant schedules and salaries. Our saleries are just as nuts as this. The companies are picking and choosing how they pay based on the Railroad Act from the 1800's! Can you imagine anything from the 1800's being relevant to pay and moden work rules of the 21 century. This is the most corrupt system of pay.....
I worked for an HVAC shop that pulled the independent contractor scam on me. I was really shocked when I asked about my W2 and was told that I was an IC and should have been paying my own taxes.
File a complaint for employee misclassification. Then you can file for unpaid wages, if any
Greed makes the green
Sec of labor “just hang in there”😢 corporate greed
By time you realize this happened it’s too late
Your use lay behind on your rent maxed out your savings and asked your self I’m I crazy
Corporations n companies are willing to spend money on court cases rather then pay what the workers are owned.
Damn
Its sad that wage theft has gotten so bad that almost 100% of hourly employees in the US have experienced it whether they know it or not and the most common is... benefits skimming. Benefits skimming is where a benefit thats employ paid is overcharged at a set rate to each employee and the employer keeps that money, not only that but they will make agreements for kickbacks from 3rd pparty companies. So say an insurance company charges an amount theyll pay an employer a % of it to use THEIR company as their provider. Mohawk, who i worked for, got sued for redirecting employees 401k contributions to buy its own stock which it inflated, took the profit and replaced the money, that one is still in court
Who behind the computer pay the people now
I wanna speak up but my job will fire me if I make a comment 🤔
Perfect example of wage theft: EVERY exempt employee
Even non-exempt employee, if you claim overtime you get on their radar and they fire you.
@@mshah1193 That is wrong of them to do, but it isn't wage theft.
1:16 capitalism in a nutshell
I have NEVER had my pay stolen. But then I don't work service or sales jobs. My skill set was not replaceable. Aren't many renaissance men around.
U still should care about the unskilled workers getting their wages stolen. Assuming you care about “law and order”
How long do you work somewhere you’re not getting paid before finding a different job? Are they just working there forever hoping something will change? The fact there working more than one week not being paid doesn’t make sense…
It’s legal for the government, the Senators do it all the time,
Why not , the government gets away with it ,
