"Ultimately, wage theft prevents workers from taking meaningful steps to enter the middle class."

"Too often, dishonest employers cheat their employees out of the wages that they are legally entitled to receive."

"This is a multi-billion-dollar problem. Each year, dishonest employers steal at least $15 billion from workers' paychecks in minimum wage violations alone."

"Therefore, I'm committed to working with my colleagues to pass the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act of 2022 to ensure workers receive the wages that they earn."
