Everyone deserves to be paid for the hours they work.
But this right is denied to many low-wage workers who are paid below minimum wage, obliged to work off the clock, denied overtime pay, and sometimes get no pay at all.*
Wage theft doesn’t just take money from workers. Wage theft hurts everyone—responsible employers trying to compete with subminimum wages; consumers; taxpayers and the local economy.
Want to stimulate the economy? Join us to end wage theft--and build a San Francisco with opportunity and progress for all.
It’s time take action. It’s time to get paid.
