    Technically and legally, that is not wage theft. It’s scummy and should be stopped, but it’s not wage theft.

      Any form of profit not shared with the people that created it is wage theft

        When you dilute words with legal definitions, you actually make it worse when it does happen.

        When I saw this on Facebook, I honestly thought it was a Psy Op, like how much propaganda is thrown at disrupting unions.

        Ok but that obscures the actual legal crime against the proletariat that’s committed with a disturbing regularity. Labor is morally entitled to all it creates, but it’s regularly cheated out of that which it is legally entitled to as well

      Technically it’s record breaking wage theft.

    This is a problem with capitalism, but wage theft is an other, different, specific problem with capitalism.

    Wage theft is when they ask you to clock out for a meeting, not when you don’t like what they pay
