Waget heft? I don’t know what it is but I don’t think I’m going like it
That is not what wage theft is. Wage theft is when you don’t get paid what you’re legally supposed to receive. Examples would be clocking you out before done working so you get less hours, not tracking overtime properly, etc.
Was tankie originally a reference to the Greek tanks that crushed Greek college students to death for protesting in '73?
it is not even “no increase”. wage increase not proportional to profits is wage theft and wage increase not higher than inflation is horrible management.
Expecting wage increases proportional to profits is only reasonable if you also accept cuts proportional to losses.
oh this definitely already happens either in the form of pay cuts or lay offs. And anything below inflation rate should be considered a cut really so you get cuts even when there may be profit. So getting a cut only when there is a loss can even be considered a win from this perspective lol.
Love the message. But I can only think of the unspeakable horrors big bird is about to commit on those children
I don’t love the message, because that’s not what wage theft is. Wage theft is literally not paying people their due salary.
Several of the company’s employees told the Herald-Leader in January that ARC regularly paid workers late. In Perry County, several employees reported going weeks without a paycheck.
If you want a list of examples of wage theft this is it. Not paying Min Wage. Not paying due overtime. Classifying workers incorrectly to evade labor laws. Not paying your interns. Not paying into your staffer’s SS/Medicare.
It has nothing to do with increasing wages to match profits. This is when you are defrauding your staff of their contractually due salary.
Yeah you’re right but you’ve missed the mark because it’s not about the literal definition in this context its about the unfair nature of profits not being distributed fairly. That is the people in charge of valuing the work are unfairly valuing their own limited contribution above the people actually doing the thing. By looking at it in this way it can be seen as a form of theft and as the theft is happening in the form of their wages being lower than they should I don’t think calling it wage theft is that big of an exaggeration from its dictionary definition.
Also you’re stupid for being pedantic when big bird is right there about to make you wish for the comfort of being smug about definitions on an internet meme
The thing is that it muddies the waters.
-
Wage theft is criminal. Basically everyone agrees it’s immoral and illegal.
-
Statistically it’s the biggest form of theft in the US
-
If you become aware of it you should report it, perhaps get a lawyer, and expect a payout.
If you expand the definition to include undervaluing staff, none of the above are true.
Yeah, doing this simply devalues the term ‘wage theft’. It’s like calling catcalling ‘rape’, except that catcalling might actually be illegal.
Honestly it’s your problem if you think rape is less of an issue because of something that very obviously does not happen all that often.
