"Just Pay Cinci" Campaign to End Wage Theft
Hard working people are being ripped off every day! Together we can end wage theft!!
Why is this important?
Join the Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center in it's fight to END WAGE THEFT!
Unfortunately, the philosophy of fairness is often omitted when it comes to fair pay. Low wage and immigrant workers suffer from some of the worst indignities, with exploitation, discrimination, and wage theft at the top of the list.
Wage theft is the common practice of not paying a worker part or all of what they are owed, and it is plaguing our communities . This plays out in unpaid over time, being mis-classified, and even not receiving pay at all. In Cincinnati, millions of dollars (including tax dollars) are lost in unpaid wages.
The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, a community led organization, has launched a campaign called "Just Pay Cinci" a campaign to end wage theft. It is designed to lay out a City Ordinance to deter the boss from this unethical labor practice. The ordinance will make the city report wage theft, expose wage theft, fine repeat offenders and ultimately END WAGE THEFT! Please sign the petition!
