One of the best books I ever read on wage theft was written by a colleague named Kim Bobo. In her book "Wage Theft in America," she wrote that "wage theft in America is the crime wave no one talks about."
So, me and a few others working in and around the labor movement have taken the challenge to get out news about wage theft when the opportunity arises. Today I was given that opportunity again.
But wait, hold on ... it is not all doom and gloom! This piece is about a phenomenal victory, valued at $8.5 million, for workers who stood up for their rights at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Neeham Mount Auburn Hospital and New England Baptist Hospital who were allegedly victims of wage theft.
