Every year, millions of Americans are victims of wage theft: they’re paid below minimum wage, they don’t receive earned benefits, tips, overtime, or breaks, they’re misclassified as independent contractors, or simply not paid for their work. It’s a $50 billion dollar problem, even though most people have never heard of it!
