Employers Who Steal Wages Should Be Made Criminally Liable | Novara Media

because laws are made to protect them and their money, not you or your money. they specifically paid for it to be like that.

This goes both ways right?!

Aren’t you afraid of USA bombings for such uncapitalistic behaviour?

This “slap on the wrist” handling of it is way too lenient and can only apply to people who accidentally underpay workers. If you can somehow prove that an employer does it on purpose or rejects a person’s claim for their salary they should be held accountable and be put in the same category as stealing a car with up to 4 years imprisonment.

If you only make employers pay a fine and backpay to whoever requests it might be less than the amount they stole. This way optimal business strategy become “get insured for it and continue”.

They aren’t already?

So, all employers? Surplus value is wage theft by definition.
