From construction sites to cleaning jobs, from restaurants to landscaping work, too many workers are denied the wages they have rightfully earned. Some are not paid at all. Others are underpaid, paid late, or threatened when they speak up. From immigrant workers, especially those who are undocumented or temporary protections like DACA, the risk is even greater. Employers often use the fear of retaliation, of job loss, of immigration consequences to silence workers and avoid accountability. But let’s be clear: Wage theft is illegal. And all workers, regardless of immigration status, have rights. When workers are not paid: Families struggle to afford rent, food, and basic necessities Communities lose economic stability Honest employers are undercut by exploitation This is not just a worker issue, it's a community issue. Immigration rights and worker rights go hand in hand. When one group of workers is exploited, it lowers standards for everyone. We all benefit when workers are protected, paid fairly, and treated with respect. By signing this petition, you are standing with workers across Virginia and demanding an end to wage theft. We believe in dignity. We believe in justice. We believe in protecting our community through an economy that works for all. Sign today. Share widely.
