	"description": "The epidemic of wage theft has become business-as-usual in far too many industries in Massachusetts. Wage theft covers a variety of infractions that occur when workers do not receive their legally or contractually promised hard-earned wages. Common forms of wage theft are non-payment of overtime, not giving workers their last paycheck after a worker leaves a job, and simply not paying a worker the money that they have rightfully earned. In today’s economy, where employers increasingly subcontract or outsource core parts of their business to other companies, wage theft has overwhelmed the capacity of our existing labor laws and enforcement mechanisms. Nearly $1 billion in wages are stolen from hundreds of thousands of low-wage workers each year in Massachusetts. This is money stolen from families, communities, and the Commonwealth at a time when revenue is desperately needed. Sponsored by Rep. Dan Donahue and Sen. Sal DiDomenico, An Act to Prevent Wage Theft, Promote Employer Accountability, and Enhance Public Enforcement addresses this growing crisis. Tell your legislators to pass HD967/SD774, An Act to Prevent Wage Theft, Promote Employer Accountability, and Enhance Public Enforcement now!",
