Corporations: *use the pandemic as an excuse to price gouge 30% and up*
Also corporations: "why are people stealing?!"
Bingo
Corporations: It's not us, it's inflation
Try 50% +
Clown criminals will steal regardless of prices. It’s really disturbing you fools are making excuses for shoplifters.
People like you guys embolden criminals.
Ever since citizens united was passed by SCOTUS, I've felt that corporations should have to pay the very same % of their *gross/total* income taxes as the rest of us "people"!
And claiming corporations are people. Gaslighting?
Agreed. If corporations are people, then corporations have to follow all the rules and regulations that _actual_ people have to follow.
Corporate personhood already existed before Citizens United. It’s exactly what allowed for the Rehnquist Court to overrule the FEC’s restrictions on campaign financing back in the 1970s.
THIS! ^
@@susanguerra6966 If they are "people", they should go to prison like any person would for stealing millions of dollars.
"when the poor steal it's called a crime, when the rich steal it's called business"
Never tired of repeating this quote!!
It's double standards
I think you mean Tired! you azzhowl
Hole
I've worked delivery for a company that would not let you keep customer tips. The tips are directed towards the employee, not the company. So, I just didn't tell them about it. It's a shame how greedy employers can be. As my grandmother used to say, "They steal the butter off a blind man's bread."
Especially offended by Amazon ads. My final Amazon purchase was two decades ago.
Why should my comments be any less repetitious than the google's offensive and unstoppable ads?
Only one question for RUclips:
Does anyone really think more frequent and more offensive ads can lead to profit?
Trevor is slaying his last few Daily Show episodes as the host! 💗 Trevor, you will be sorely missed, but I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Trevor has slayed all episodes IMHO. I loved John and was sad to see him leave. Did not know of Trevor before but love him now and also sad to hear he is leaving.
Who ever takes over has large shoes to fill again.
who will the new host be?
Yeah his shameless shilling for American leftist propaganda will be sorely missed! Wanna bet In his new life he will look to distance himself from this embarrassing “performance “!
It’s one thing to tow the line of the corporation you work for but to be a propaganda mouth piece for a political ideology is just asinine. Like how much do you even get offered for a gig like this? Don’t get me wrong I’m opposed to the “right wing “ as much as I’m opposed to “the left “ even if I do fully understand that liberals are definitely the “lesser evil “. I’d much rather have a group that virtue signals and grants me certain protections even if hypocritical and to serve their agenda than a group that would put me in chains and return to slavery if only they had the chance. It’s a no brainer however it is appalling how blatant Hollywood and mainstream media no longer even bother to hide how vehemently they are angling .oh well. The people defining get the leaders they deserve. We the people love this system. Our callousness, self absorption and greed is exactly how we came to be ruled by luciferians and masons
@@shehuyakubu3751 Sorry, he isn't propaganda. If you can't understand satire, you're too young for this
@@MasterOfViewership Do we even know when he's going to leave? Haven't heard anything since it was announced that he is going to retire from the Daily Show. Nor have I heard anything about a probable successor.
"You can't put a corporation in prison"
This reminds me of a bumper sticker: "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one."
I’d be all for liquidating corporations that break labor laws to this extent (or any extent).
@@wildfire9280 I don't want the other workers to lose their jobs tho. The guys resposible for the crime of loan theft should pay for the damage done. If you just liquidate the company toxic management will just move on to the next company and keep abusing the workforce.
Bam!!
@@denniskappacher303 Could they be forced out of management or better yet, “temporarily” (ideally permanently) replaced with workplace democracy until a suitable executive is found?
That's why in my wee 3rd world country, corporation still must have their President director or board of directors as hostages for any wrongdoing of their company. They can be jailed and fined and their assets seized. USA and China mainland hated my country for it.
The part that makes me soooo angry is that most of the corporations guilty of wage theft…..are multi million or billion dollar earning corporations! Shame on those greedy CEO’s
A small fraction of those overpaid parasite's exorbitant salaries could easily compensate workers for YEARS.
Railroad companies denied sick days to people who helped them make record profits during the pandemic 🤦🏼 and now Jerome Powell says that we need to lower wages through increased in unemployment to address inflation. They hate the working class!
There are reasons why those corporations are rich: they use tactics others will not employ on ethical grounds.
First of all: ALL corporations are guilty of wage theft - that's how they keep their shareholders rolling in it.
Jail those greedy CEOs!
As a victim of wage theft myself thank you for letting me know I'm not alone
I feel the same.
Its rampant.
Oh, you are not alone.
@@commonsense.1014 h ryr😊
same and by my university 🥲
I wasn’t expecting a wage theft story but I’m here for it
I just had to laugh when i saw an article recently that said the CEO of walmart says theft is so bad that they will need to close stores if it doesnt slow down. Trevor hit the nail on the head with this one. Stop increasing prices and pay people a living wage that makes them not feel the need to steal. Also you know.. pay people what they are owed when they work
"The biggest theft isn't people stealing from companies, it's companies stealing from people." YES.
Yes! They call it a career and retirement plan
Steal $1000 from a store, do 2 years. Steal $10 million from a 1000 stores and they buy you a jet.
So if you owned a store and people shoplifted just remember it’s justified.
@@lostcat9lives322Are you trying to say shoplifting is justified?
I forgot RITE AID had 2 close 2 stores nr me bc of shoplifting. Walgreens has no carts anymore bc those have been stolen also.
CEO’s getting million dollar bonuses while employees are under paid:
“ wow, I can’t believe people are stealing!”
*surprised pikachu face*
Guess time to sharpened those guillotine, eh?
Wage theft was one of many reasons I quit my previous job. They didn’t pay me after I worked while caught covid. It’s messed up.
This happened to me in Manhattan on Madison Ave. I had to sue the place to get my money they owed me. Due to emails between me and management and them knowing they were paying less than minimum wage for 2 years. Plus no meal breaks and yet they were taking it out and having us work off the clock for 2 hours, they claim it was for training.
Y’know, when I hear about people stealing from grocery stores specifically, I have to say, there seems to be some major overarching problems leading to people stealing food.
I once worked for a company who put out a memo...if we got hurt on the job...and workman's comp didn't cover it...WE would have to pay for our medical care. In a room of about 600 people...in the next employee meeting....I was the only one who stood up and said " no", my next step would be a lawyer. The business rescinded the memo. That was scary on so many levels.
My husband's old job gave everyone a "bonus" if no one reported a workplace injury for the quarter. My husband cut his thumb and decided not to report it as a workplace injury because he didn't want people to be mad at him. He did have insurance but he ended up paying $200 when all was said and done. The "bonus" was $30...it was clearly a way of shaming employees into not reporting workplace injuries.
To: L Whitaker: What was your outcome? Did you leave, or were you forced out?
You shouldn't have been the only one to fight back. The working class has become too used to mistreatment.
What I got from this comment: Your fellow employees are all cowards.
@@jondunmore4268 Or (much more likely) were caught in a state of shock and weren't allowed the opportunity to process it.
Each of those hundreds of individuals was only given that tiny amount of time opportunity to cognitively process the f***ery of that situation and only do so as 1 instead of a coalition of several hundred.
I've been a part of those kinds of "meetings" before. There is a fierce knowing of "this is f'd up", but not being able to speak up just only because it's a bombshell and not being allowed the time to put it into a cohesive argument.
Trevor is on fire. Can’t believe we only have him 2 more days. The best of the best. Ahhh, gonna miss him so much 😩
What 😢
2 days?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure he said his last show would be December 8th. ~ it would be awesome if that were wrong, lol
@@heh_128 😭
I thought he was leaving like next year. 😔
“A corporation is a person” according to the Supreme Court, except when it comes to imprisoning the owners. 5 mos for his CEO. I’ve seen ppl get longer sentences for stealing food.
remember: if you see someone shoplifting food, no you didn't.
Employers underpay you in Malaysia from 9-5 and expect you to work UNPAID till 10pm. There is no where to run because they're all like that. Bring that up and they call you lazy, we just want what's fair and be treated humanely. this is why there has been a massive brain drain of the country for decades
I worked at several places that did wage theft. I worked at a hospital in the kitchen for 5weeks and wasn't paid. I had to hound them every day and that did nothing. It took the receptionist for the manager to break into his office and find my paperwork to prove legally I had worked there. I also worked at a Burger King that the manager would make us work overtime and would change the time clock to put the hours on the next week and so on. She was caught but no one got compensated for the time she was doing it and it was over $30,000 (of damages) so the General Manager said.
I'm going to miss Trevor
Indonesia. The guest no ones going to visit. I hope u got your pay.
That's so messed up. Corporations are running this country completely. Politicians work for the corporations who lobby to them and pay them, so politicians work for the corporations instead of citizens. Corporations control pay and salaries. They maintain the massive pay gap. And wage theft of course. And so so much more. Corporations run and rule this country, and arguably the world. And that's a fact now! Haha So what can people do? Do most Americans enjoy this? Because we're living under corporate rule. 5 years ago I didn't have this sort of knowledge about it, and I don't think most people do? Seems it should be one of if not the most important aspect of concern for citizens about the nation. Corporations have the nation held hostage.
U go to ur State Employment & they will get ur $ with % back.
My son the same
The only two things that will protect employees from corporations are unions and laws to regulate companies.
Organize Labor
let me be master pls
Amen
You mean like the mafia controlled AFL/CIO?? There's already laws that regulate companies.
Mace Windu: Who will protect employees from other co-worker-union discrimination office-thugs-cohorts to ostracize workers from the U.K. with British accents in the U.S.?
They must complain to the management. So why have a union if there is no internal peace?
As an HR Director, I constantly remind my managers employees must be paid correctly and on time. When I was younger, I worked at the Express clothing store as a part-time employee. And we did not know that our manager was changing our hours to exclude the overtime we worked as requested by corporate. I didn’t actually find out until I received legal papers in the mail asking me to join a class action lawsuit. What these companies are doing is criminal! And they should be held accountable.
Employees should always keep track of their hours & make copies of their time cards, then double-check the math on their pay stubs. Just in case.
This is reason you need to keep you own track of your hours and question any discrepancy when it happens
Edit: I see that @luchndatram4289 said the same.
Hold on.. Shouldn't it be payroll that pays employees? Why are managers involved in any way?
@@jamesjiao Managers control schedules and they changed the employee overtime hours.
Do you think that’s partially what drove you to go into HR? Or was the class action after the fact & just solidified your reasons? 😂
How come companies, when they pay these fines, don’t have to admit guilt but when an employee gets caught, they don’t get the same treatment?
When I was a waiter we were required to be at the restaurant 15 minutes before our shift and we were often asked to roll up silverware while we waited. So, I showed up 15 minutes early, but I immediately clocked in. If I had to be there at a certain time, that's when my pay started.
The bulldozer guy from the UK reminds us all that the corporate bosses need us but we definitely don't need them!
Pete Yun: At what time?
Wage theft in construction work isn't anything new. Last job I had that did that the boos constantly changed my time sheet w/ some bs excuse. When I quit I took two tools worth $500, both of which I've used for other jobs, and a tool that the company only had one of that is required to prepare a job to be inspected. It cost him way more money than what he saved for himself by not paying my full wages. I thought about breaking stuff on the job, too, but it would have came back on me. That worker in Britain is going to jail.
This needs to be a bigger story!! Companies need to be held accountable!!!
the execs need to know their personal freedom is on the line too if they commit crimes in the name of the company
Absolutely 💯
at 1:10 as the conviction of the T** Organization seems to be a "nothing snowball" to the "abominable snowflake", keep watching!
This should be the beginning of the end of his teflon don era...
Just look a t the bank bailout of 2008 Their were complains that frauded million but got a payout that did not go to the emp it went to the Manager that were fired, because their contract paid them no matter if they F'ed up the company
Corporations have captured the government. Put another way- they own them via “donations” and “gifts”. Constituents are only important at election time.
Its funny how a comedy show gets it right more often than half this country does
HOW TRUE 👏 👏 👏
They got it right up to the point about laser printers but that was at the very end.
Those companies paid more money in lawsuits and fines than if they would have just paid them the first time.
“No I just like holding shampoo!” Bwahaaaa
I've worked at spas (as a massage therapist) that made us clock out if we didn't have a client but make us wait in case we get a walk-in. And they charge the clients automatic %20 service charge and only gave us %12 and said it was for employee benefits. But we were all part time and didn't get any benefits.
My goodness, that is just vicious.
What agrevates me most about it is:
- that it doesn't surprise me
- that somehow no tv channel feels it necessary to pepper it's broadcasts with stories like that.
Wow
I started watching when Jon Stewart was the host. Was heartbroken when he left. Never thought I'd watch the Daily Show again. Trevor Noah changed that real quick. He's hilariously brilliant.
Me, too. Kinda nervous to find out who's next
It's really a whole team of writers Trevor and John were just the face of it. They did/do a terrific job of a explaining injustices and speaking truth to power.
and so sad he's leaving after this month :(
So making a case for shoplifting is somehow brilliant.
@@JordanS215 It's gonna start off different and we probably won't like it in the beginning but give like 5 years and we'll grow to love them as much as Trevor and Jon
Wage theft is exactly what's happening at Twitter- half the company was laid off and the other gets 2x the work with no compensation
Kevin D: They can follow suit.
The problem with Twitter is that people buy Musk bs that I’m gonna be overworked and underpaid because I admired my boss so much.
@@eddyvideostar some of them need the job for their visa, to feed their children, etc. the answer to someone treating people coming in and treating people poorly, isn’t “so quit then”. That helps nothing.
And there is a lot more than wage theft going on at twitter right now lol
Mad props to Bobcat Bulldozer Man!!! He actually did what most of us want to do!!! He is an inspiration to us all👏👏👏
The county government I worked for stole thousands of dollars of overtime from myself and many employees. I complained to my chief, the county clerk...excuses and deaf ears. I tried to persuade these folks to join in a lawsuit. I alerted the federal labor board; they seemed to try to help....all for nothing...🤨
How bout when company claims bankruptcy and you lose all your retirement funds when all they really did was change the company name
Absolutely!!
So far it's happened to me twice all my retirement funds disappeared in to fat air
A Truthteller you are Trevor! Thank You for being born, and present on earth at this time. Be well young man. Bless you and all that you Love.
Might be wiser to thank his parents for birthing him, Trevor didn't do much at the time..😏
@@johan.ohgren weren't his parents criminals by birthing him? in some parts of Africa interracial marriages are illegal.
@@kirillzakharov7336 yes, Trevor has said his father used to walk on the opposite side of the street in public.
When they don’t pay you, it’s not volunteering, it’s slavery.
The employer-employee relationship is that actually a very insidious dynamic. Employment is a rental contract. Like if you rented capital (say, a chainsaw from Home Depot), you pay rent for the "time preference" (basically the cost of time) for a piece of property. Capitalism is based on a principle of self ownership, which sounds empowering, until you realize that most people don't own capital goods other than themselves, and must rent out the authority over themselves as pieces of "human capital". This is a process of dehumanization where human beings are valued for their return on investment as capital goods. This is why, at least capitalism needs safety nets (or abolishment), or else the system won't value sick, elderly, and disabled people, as they can't provide competitive economic return for the investor class.
P.S. socialism is about social ownership of the means of production. So instead of people renting themselves to a boss who owns the business, everybody collectively have a stake in the firm. Personally, I've been interested in grassroots groups called the Next System Project and the Democracy Collaborative. They have devised a way to keep production local for key anchor institutions and contract service to cooperatives. They have helped multiple cities struggling with job loss due to factory closures. Building back their communities, in the US and UK. In addition, trade unions, collectives, public banks, credit unions, community land trusts, CSA's, and many other democratically controlled institutions can work together to create democratic networks outside the market to create an economy that doesn't reduce people, their governments, and the environment to a monetary value. I think this can be a viable strategy to give people the autonomy over their work. I believe economic democracy is the only way people who work for the economy will have the economy work for them, their families, and the planet too.
This way of revitalizing communities by building community wealth has helped many communities all over the globe, and it is utilized by the UK labor party and touted by Jeremy Corbyn. Preston, Lancashire became the most improved city in the UK because of community wealth building. Not to mention, much of the progress in labor rights has been due to union's collective power. The thing that draws my conviction to the movement is that I can see it now, helping empower people to live happier, healthier, and wealthier lives.
Technically, no - you can leave the job but there's no leaving slavery (by definition). But yah I can see where you're coming from.
@@WanderingExistence but vuvuzela ifone 100 morbillion dead!!!
@J B um no. And if you want to use random places as examples then go back to... Jamestown I think? Where the whole town almost died because of socialism but then someone came along and said "you don't work, you don't eat" and the town prospered. In socialism everyone will eventually get lazy and do the bare minimum or less, banking on others to carry the weight. Real socialism won't work because we are all selfish at our core. It's a fantasy idealism to think otherwise.
I don't think you can compare it to slavery.
It's really sad that Trevor is leaving The daily show. He's so talented and naturally funny. Whatever he moves on to next I hope he succeeds in. He made all of us laugh. Even if it's the toughest subjects imaginable.
I'm so sad to see him go 😭
Dang, I didn't know that! Well, he did an amazing job while on the show and I wish him the best!
i dont like trevor, he gets political, very biased, and is bland on his comedy. He mocks Americans too idk how Americans like this man.
@@jesusgonzales1045 I love him. If the shoe fits, wear it.
Wage Theft... It needs to be talked about a lot more.
Well, if politicians can get away with criminal activities, this is the end result.
8 million dollars is nothing to these corporations.
They've robbed it already
No excuse for stealing
@@minastern7501 Way to miss the point.
Yet they feel they need to steal it from their employees 🤔 but yeah that's nothing to them. Right.
Corporations, capitalism, death to Earth
Thanks Trevor! We do it differently here in Finland. The CEO is "personally" responsible of all wrong doings like these. He has to pay and he will go to Prison. Simple. And at the moment the only real power workers could gain is to join together, some sort of "unions" and collectively start to change the laws and politics. Just like every major sport leagues have, organization to represent the players. Maybe not the best example, but you got the idea.

Jari, same here in Germany.
As for punishing of individuals in the name of their coprporation, the crocked dealings will stop as soon as the first wall street broker is sentenced for fraud and declared the exclusive girlfriend of an 280 pound inmate at rikers island.
I luv Finland and Icelands way of dealing with the bosses cause they should know better
I am positive that if it was a small time business owner and not a "billionaire" member of the 1% that Trump would be going to prison for this.
And let's not forget how the insurance companies they partner with to provide our benefits also join their theft ring.
Thank you for exposing this epidemic of wage theft! We really need to treat people like people and not like objects that we can exploit. Use money to bless people, don't use people to get money 🙏🏽 #fairexchange #valuepeople
I'll watch him In whatever he does. He and his team deserve the best 👌
The biggest wage theft is paying to park at your own job.
To Elite Black: Why?
That is true, I have a friend who has to pay $100 each month for parking in the workplace's parking lot
@@eddyvideostar If I'm there to work for you and make your company function, then the least you can do is let me park me vehicle on your premises without stinking your hand in my wallet.
@@graysonllewellyn8734: Where is your friend located? Where is this?
Wow 😮
I love how they emphasize the “MILLION” as if it means that much to these companies…. 21 million to McDonald’s is like me losing a quarter while doing laundry
I had a job where you worked 13 hours straight but wasn't considered OT because half of it happened past midnight. 👏🏾
My mom worked for a place that would have you work overtime one week and then would "forget" to put the overtime hours in. So, they would add the hours the next week, but they would make sure that the employee was under 40 hours and they would not put the hours in as overtime. Yes, the manager did get a bonus if they could have full coverage, but keep under a certain payroll amount each week. Then I worked at a job where the manager constantly took our lunch out when we never got a lunch. Because the only legal way for us to get a lunch was for him to come down and relieve one of us and he never did. So, he knew for a fact that we had to stay on the floor to maintain legal coverage, he knew that he didn't come and give either of us a lunch (two of us doing the job of 5, btw) and yet he still robbed us of 2 1/2 hours or more of work per week. Not only that, but since vacation time was based on how many hours you worked per week, he was also robbing us of vacation time. They also made us do promotional work at a charity event for zero pay under threat of being fired when we complained.
Horrifying!!! I’m sooo sorry this was done to your Mother, and Any Employee!!
Trevor's impersonating Trump! On the spot every time! Hilarious 😅👍🏼
Trevor, you are going to be truly missed. You are so funny with the utmost class. You are a treasure ❤️
He really is unique 🎭🌎
He's sick?
He's awesome! I hate to see him go!
eh It would actually be nice to get some new people in and change things up a bit
I'm going to cry when he leaves... who is going to replace the irreplaceable Trevor Noah?
Coming from Brazil, one of the greatest excuses robbers use for why they are stealing, is because politicians are doing the same.
Wage theft is terrible and something that should not happen. But now, if someone that steals or thinks about stealing, is watching this video, they will have another excuse to do so.
“If others are doing, why can’t I do the same?”
Fair enough don’t send the thieves to jail make them pay for every item they stole just like the companies pay those millions and if they can’t pay then send them to jail for a minimum one year sentence and see how they quickly theft starts dropping.
Billions stolen, millions in fines.
Sounds like a winner to me.
F greedy corporations.
I don't know what I'll watch when trevor leaves. He's such a great guy and a great host
Ikr
Did you watch with John.
Ikr
His past RUclips shows fill the void?
Agreed. I am missing him already 😢
Congratulations Morocco ❤🇲🇦sending love from us youngsters in the USA 🇺🇸❤
THNk you so much
🙏🇲🇦❤
Was a union organizer and I totally love this!!!! This is 100% true.
I hated having to calculate my paycheck every time I got it then getting screamed at for asking where my hours went
I was a victim of wage theft so this episode really spoke to me, thanks
Me too. The owner was named Karen, and she was watching us from home via hidden cameras. She had the gall to criticize us for eating on the clock (after illegally forbidding meal breaks).
I know many people from different jobs even construction and many restaurants dont pay or keep holding your pay. They also take their tips or bit pay u all your tips...even though now quite tipscare being charged tax. They have dine it to license companies and wven owners I'd the company..they dont pay.
The lesson is if your gonna steal make sure it is millions.
For that you have to be in a position to steal millions
Unless you’re Anna Delvey…. didn’t work for her….
When I worked part time in California, I was getting paid $11.50 an hour. When they promoted me to full time, I started being paid $12/hr, and was CONSTANTLY forced to work for 1-2 hours after I clocked out. It was also a regular occurrence for me to have to clock out for but skip my breaks because I was the only employee in the entire facility during my shift. The owner would sit at home & watch live camera feed all day.
I justified all of this at the time because it was my first job & because my boss was nice when he did show up.
This is BEFORE we talk about them not paying taxes and not paying livable wages so that working people still have to use government benefits!
so, for those shoplifting videos, a lot of them aren't even in this year. There was a news story about this. Rite-aid closing stores had nothing to do with shoplifting. They were planning to close stores even before the shoplifting reports. It's just when they actually got to closing the stores, they blamed shoplifting.
Yeah, exactly. Most stores have theft insurance, the only profits people are cutting into if they shoplift are that they're increasing the store's premiums. This is a smokescreen, businesses could stop nearly all these new attempts to shoplift by simply paying a decent wage, getting more employees, and protecting their assets... but they'd rather shift the blame onto inflation and theft so they don't look like the bad guy anymore.
Copaganda. Straight BS from corporations that are making record profits every quarter.
It's like Walmart, et al. They raise prices when there is talk of raising the minimum wage and then again when "shoplifting" is hurting their profits. The customers pay for the imaginary losses
@@eleanorpatterson6201 Its because they use those reasons to justify the 3.5% average inflation that happens every year... not that they ever raise wages. They'll fire you and hire a new worker before compensating you more for years worked under their employ... like ALL box stores (so, if you're shopping at Target because you don't like Walmart's businesses practices you're still paying a company that does the exact same thing).
@@kyleoates6367 the same thing happens in the white collar world to some degree, though of course it is far more impactful to the more vulnerable... I wonder when the breaking point caused by income inequality will lead to significant lasting change in the US. Maybe never?
I used to apprentice with my Dad's electrical business.
Always asked for half up front, but since he was friends with most the town, didn't always happen.
One guy refused to pay anything, claiming my Dad botched the job, even tho he was doing it for 20+yrs.
So, we went back, & Dad started ripping out wires.
He paid pretty fast after that..
This is exactly the way one has to answer such theft! Not going to a lawyer paying up front hundreds to get nothing as result.
The only time I condone stealing is when a person with no money, and no food steals food to survive or another similar circumstance, where they’re not doing it to be bad, they’re doing it to not die
I worked at a private school that had a chapel in it. They weren't paying us overtime. One of my coworkers knew this was illegal. She called the labor board. Next thing you know they are crawling all over the school and doing interviews. By the end of it I got a check for 4k because they had to pay all the overtime they were supposed to pay me. 2 years later they were closed down. This school has been open forever. That's what happens if you don't pay overtime. 🤷♀️
About the guy who tore into that hotel: I once chained a front porch I built to my truck after the homeowner wouldn't make his last payment out of two. I did it very slowly, and when all his neighbors were out walking their dogs before work. Just the embarrassment was enough for him to write a check to the contractor (I was a carpentry subcontractor.)
If corporations are people, the leadership should be held accountable for the crimes.
IF leaders aren't accountable for the company, there is no point in having a leader.
Every worker deserves a voice. Every worker deserves ample compensation. EVERY industry deserves a union. ✊

In addition, trade unions, collectives, public banks, credit unions, community land trusts, CSA's, and many other democratically controlled institutions can work together to create democratic networks outside the market to create an economy that doesn't reduce people, their governments, and the environment to a monetary value. I think this can be a viable strategy to give people the autonomy over their work. I believe economic democracy is the only way people who work for the economy will have the economy work for them, their families, and the planet too.
This way of revitalizing communities by building community wealth has helped many communities all over the globe, and it is utilized by the UK labor party and touted by Jeremy Corbyn. Preston, Lancashire became the most improved city in the UK because of community wealth building. Not to mention, much of the progress in labor rights has been due to union's collective power. The thing that draws my conviction to the movement is that I can see it now, helping empower people to live happier, healthier, and wealthier lives.

F*ck a union. Leeching off ppl's money
What will happen if the industry does not need workers?
No workers=no union
Honestly never expected to see any of the late nights talking about wage theft but I'm not at all surprised the one who brought it up was Trevor
He paid the crew out of his pocket when the set closed down during the pandemic. Not surprised that he notices wage theft.
Lol, John Oliver
Those fines are ridiculous. A couple of million in back pay, for billion dollar corporations - if that's all the cheating got them, why did they bother? Because corporate greed has reached the point where it's not okay to make *some* money, you have to make *all* the money.
When corporations steal billions of dollars from their employees over the years and only have to pay a 2-million dollar fine when they get caught, what incentive is there for them to stop?
Trevor was definitely on point when you at the store and they got one line open and then you go to the self-checkout and then it's a error when scanning and the clerk swipes their card. story of My Life 🤣🤣🤣
If corporations are people, put 'em in jail, love it.
Nice one, whoever thought of the wage theft segment. Bravo! That is indeed a big problem that affects people worldwide. Can anyone imagine the level of similar stuff that these same companies do on more corrupt countries... where the gov agencies can be more easily bribed to ignore it?
Kudos, Mr. Noah
There goes Indonesia’s tour industry 🤷🏼♀️😉
I've always been told that most theft at retail companies is not from customers, but what management called "internal theft" by the front line employees. Now Trevor has clarified what I always felt is the true meaning of "internal theft."
Years ago (1980s)I heard it was 35% so I believe you are right cuz businesses are more corrupt today & stealing from them would feel justified
Knew someone that worked at big supermarket, said that half the product was leaving via the loading dock, not the check-out line. They closed the store.
That said, I doubt most shoplifters are doing it as some way to get back at their employees for being underpaid.
Wage thief is rampant in the food service community so many waiters lose out
Wage Theft.... that's the new buzzword that should be. Especially IT companies specialize in this. You are really an enlightened soul Trevor. Love you and your show!
All kinds of companies do this
I've dealt with wage theft 3 times, all from small businesses. Never again.
These heads of these companies should stop raising their prices every other week and at the same time fighting against normal people getting an increase in minimum wages!!!! They are not even the people that are in harms way trying to stop people from stealing these products and the people that are in harms way can’t get a raise we should all start taking what we want and need!!
Daily Show gets the MVP award on this one.
“Yea, shoplifting is a problem, but you know what’s more prevalent and worse: Wage Theft.”
🎉😂❤🙀🙌
The restaurant where I worked paid us $2.83 an hour and lowered this if our tips gave us more than minimum wage (which where I was at the time was $5.15 an hour). I wouldn't be allowed off the floor (quit waiting tables) until the salad bar was torn down at night. As the next person off the floor, I would have to single-handedly tear it down just so I could leave--while waiting on a full section of tables. If we didn't get "off the floor" by the time bar rush came (which it got busy when the bars closed) I would be required to stay on until the rush ended--long after my scheduled hours. I was also required to stay if people called off--and it could be several hours of working--again making $2.83 an hour. They'd send home the cooks first if it slowed down--and our manager said servers were a dime a dozen and treated us badly, like scheduling me when he knew I had class. Another restaurant would lower the number of hours that we worked (I quit after two months) and so paid us less. At a library my shift would always start less than an hour before my program started, and I needed all that time to open the library, so I had to come in beforehand and work off the clock to set up my program. At one college, I was told that I couldn't use FMLA when my son was born. I started back to work a couple of days after my c-section (so I could extend what sick leave I had) even though I had internal bleeding and severe incontinence. I was told that I could not work for the class I was teaching on top of my regular job at the college during business hours, so I told them to just not pay for teaching the course (which meant that I could work on whenever I wanted). At another college library we were required to work 8am-5pm with an hour lunch "break" that we ended up working anyways (we were salary--ie not hourly and so we made a set amount). I've had bosses yell at me for not checking my email during non-business hours. I am sure I am forgetting a load of examples. I am done working.
Get a lawyer
True that. Corporate america has broken employee spirits.
Why are you Americans not stand up for your rights? Europeans don't understand this. Everything is broken in your country: the political system, the economic system, labour rights, healthcare. The only ones profiting from it are corporations and lawyers.
You are done working? How????? Disability? Sugar spouse? Planned death? No fear of homelessness? Probably will not get an answer, but inquiring minds really want to know
@@hollydowns2279 I have the same questions popping up in my mind, but your wording of them is absolutely golden. Lol. Though I get where she's coming from with the "I am done," statement, I'm curious, too.
I knew when Trevor said "there is zero excuse for shoplifting" it was gonna be an elaborate joke, I read his book 😂
Yes but that was chocolate only
Wow, that wage theft story is AWFUL!!! People work so hard and they deserve to be paid.😮💨
I'm impressed with his Trump impersonation, not bad. 😂
Bulldozer justice needs to be a meme. So cathartic.
I'm happy for you, Trevor. We all will miss you. Thank you for all you are to comedy.
what comedy the guys not funny
Trevor MUST be protected at all costs
Yes 🙌👍
Absolutely 🥰
He is lol 😂 sounds like your living in a bag
@@mbprevs you’re* and you’re
He's a national treasure!
The part about the person whose responsible for locking and unlocking the showcases in supermarkets being locked behindthe showcase too, knocked me TF out!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These aren't mutually exclusive. By shoplifting these communities lose the ability to get groceries and other essentials. Wage theft should be criminal and charges should be filed immediately.
I worked at a grocery store where we were supposed to come in 15 minutes early to count our drawer of money, before we clocked in. I was the only person that refused to do it. And we had a union. I never got in trouble cause they knew they were doing wrong. I also worked at a vet hospital where I was to work 25 hours a week. I had 4 kids so I worked part time. I was a registered veterinary technician. Then every morning, when things slowed down, I was sent home. So I only actually got about 10 hours a week. When I asked, the other employees said they do this to everyone. When i asked the manager about it, I was fired.
the vet hospital thing is actually kinda justified.. if they were that slow where they were sending people home, and you keep questioning people about it, and you only had 10 hours a week anyway, why would the company keep you? it would be better to cut you who complains about things and spread your measly 10 hours to the other workers
@@tears_of_asariel3198 I can’t begin to explain how dumb every single thing you’ve uttered in this sentence are.
@@kaitlinrose7202 Every day? Professional people that you promised so many hours, and you just forgot to tell them that? And it takes your hours down to almost nothing?
a vet tech who finds they are not getting the hours should be offering to get on the phone calling past clients to remind them about vaccines and checkups. Make yourself useful in a way that generates more business rather than complaining there is not enough business. If you complained to me about not enough hours I’d cut you too.

Haven't gotten over the Morocco win.......as an African it was absolutely thrilling 🔥
Yeah, congrats. Big day for African football!
I'm from Switzerland and have moroccon neighbours. I was very happy for them. Finally someone beat Spain!
wait these people does not thing they are African at all. they come from Magreb.... and that's a few of them said to me...

Then you should get them a map this Christmas
The construction worker’s rage is representative of 60%+ of the US population regarding wages.
Labor and productivity theft is completely legal.
If working unpaid hours is wage theft this country owes us teachers…a lot. I teach art not math. Oh and I’m not counting weekend grading and planning. We’re salaried for 180 days a year in my state (sure we get breaks but understand we get paid for 9 months, NOT for those breaks). I guess that’s just the life of salaried jobs, sigh.

Jerry: Links and data, please.
The guy in the Walmart tech area made me pay for my charger cable in the electronics area, because I assume they don't want you to shoplift it- but they gave me a bag. So it was pretty easy to just slip another item in there behind a large air filter I was carrying. Walmart doesn't pay its workers very well, and as such they drive down wages in the surrounding area. They aggregate wealth to a few billionaires that's funneled out of our communities. Capitalism isn't voluntary, so I'm not sure why taking from the rich is so terrible?
BUT you have to do acts of kindness as well, give a compliment/hug, ask a homeless person what kind of sandwich they want and sit down and talk with them (if they want), volunteer with something meaningful in your community. Spread love.

Imagine if Trump”s past contractors sought revenge for not getting paid
Yes, please.
Dear D: Hoff man: Trump was a great president. Today, the world is being bombed, dazed, and confused. Crime in high. Frottage is rampant. Cheese and ghee are on the back of ladies' skirts.
