Wage theft is the largest theft category by value (withheld wages, illegally docked wages, etc.) - and from studies it is carried out pretty universally across the country. Why might that be? Why is it when people think of theft, their first thought it's the business person or manager that come to mind as the people we should be going after for theft?
