Do you have a first hand account of Wage Theft?
We are interested in collecting narratives of your experience with Wage Theft. We will post them here for others to read so as to understand the personal ramifications as well as the variety of forms and extent to which Wage Theft permeates the lives of those here in the United States.
Please send us your narrative in the body of an email, or as a link to a video on YouTube. In either case, a valid form of contact must accompany each submission, and in the case of a YouTube link, the video must only be about a Wage Theft experience. (Please try to keep it less than five minutes long)
Please send to bvalenta@iwj.org.
Suggestions for telling your story:
-Where/what type of work did you do (industry, location, working conditions, position) ?
-How long did it go on for ?
-What was not received ?
-How did it impact your life ?
-How did it impact others (family, other workers, community…) ?
-What was done to try to remedy the situation, if anything ?
-If a remedy was sought, what was the outcome and how long did it take ?
