New Anti Wage-Theft Law.
California Gov. Brown signed into law a historic wage theft bill that targets employers who steal wages from their workers. The new law, known as Fair Day’s Pay Act, gives state authorities more tools to crackdown on employers cited for wage theft to secure unpaid wages. Advocates of low-wage workers hail the measure and provide practical details about the implementation process.
