 Employers often fail to pay the wages workers have earned: they commit wage theft, affecting millions of American workers.   Kim Bobo is the author of Wage Theft in America, and in this interview she talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick  about the many ways this happens, why companies get away with it, and what we can do about it.  

Bobo will be speaking at an event for Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon this Thursday evening at the Friends' Meeting House, SE 43d and Stark; and on the topic of wage theft at SEIU Local 503, SE Foster and 64th Avenue on Friday evening.
