Damn, yeah, I guess these guys should really be asking their new employer if they'll be subject to wage theft before they get hired.

  Or just a̶s̶s̶u̶m̶e̶ be vigilant about it, corporations are amoral profit machines and have no incentive to care about replaceable workers.

    I have no incentive to care about the grocery store I frequent, but it is still illegal for me to steal from them and I can expect to be held accountable by the government in the event that I do steal from them. I'm very libertarian- but at the end of the day I will always support the government authority to punish theft. And a failure to pay employees the agreed upon rate is theft.

        Amazon was just being tried in court. This isnt about being caught- the evidence is clear as day and was presented in court. This is about a failure of our legal system to protect basic rights of a laborer to be paid the agreed upon rate.
