Unpaid off-the-clock work is a serious issue for warehouse workers in California, despite strong labor laws.

Knowing your rights and seeking legal support can help combat wage theft. #WageTheft #CaliforniaLaw #WorkersRights #LaborJustice #ElMonte

How Australians are feeling about wage theft and other dark business practices:

@Elizafox FWIW, the psychology behind wage discrimination is pretty weird.
A lot of people believe wage-paying to not be a side of a commercial transaction, as the capitalism's official doctrine says, but funding of a lifestyle "appropriate" to the labourer's social standing. And at that point, all the sexist and classist ideas about what kind of people "deserve" what levels of living come in. Oftentimes, #WageTheft is "justified" by the same mechanism: since laws require paying a Designated Poverty-Deserving Person(tm) more than poverty wage, a manager believes the laws to be wrong and deserving to be ignored. You never see a major company's CEO's wage being thieved: #Patriarchy's ideas about a CEO's expected lifestyle say that he [sic] deserves everything that he can get.
Authoritarian ideologies don't just do "It's impossible to do X, therefore it's very important to harshly punish everybody who does X", they also go "Inequity happens naturally, theferore we must work hard to ensure that inequity happens".

🧤 California warehouse workers: Time spent donning safety gear, setting up workstations, or waiting in mandatory security lines before or after your shift may be compensable work time under California law.
The California Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that employers cannot dismiss short off-the-clock tasks as too minor to pay. That protection applies to you.
Claims must generally be filed w/in 3 years, and in some cases 4 years, from each violation.

GrubHub "outsourced" delivery work to skirt NYC's worker protection laws.
I'd love to see food businesses having deliveristas as direct employees again.

“Junior pay rates" applied to people below the age of 21, meaning 18-year-olds were paid 70 per cent of the award rate, 80 per cent for 19-year-olds and 90 per cent for 20-year-olds.

The Disney overtime settlement ($233M, approved Sept 2025) highlights systematic misclassification: thousands of employees labeled "exempt" when their actual duties didn't meet CA's strict tests. Important reminder: California requires 50%+ time on genuine management/professional duties for exemption. Salary + title ≠ automatic exemption. Many workers are owed years of back overtime. #CaliforniaLaborLaw #WorkersRights #WageTheft #Overtime

PSA for stadium and event workers in California: Your employer must pay you for ALL time you're on duty—not just official shift times. That includes setup, breakdown, security screening, uniform changes, and mandatory briefings. You're entitled to overtime (1.5x) for hours over 8/day or 40/week, plus meal and rest breaks. Off-the-clock work violates CA law. #Labor #WorkersRights #WageTheft #CaliforniaLaw

People insisting it's normal to do work for a company without being paid for it is just wild to me. People literally arguing against their own interests out of pure ignorance.
In the US this is covered by the #FairLaborStandardsAct (#FLSA) which is extremely simple when defining what's considered on-the-job work. If it is mandatory, work-related, and for the benefit of the company, then it is on-the-job work and you should be paid for the time.
Coordinating with IT on what device they're going to ship you? That's on-the-job work.
Driving to a job site that is not your main office? That's on-the-job work.
Meeting with a client for lunch to discuss your latest deliverable? That's on-the-job work.
Know your rights, folks. #WageTheft is the top form of theft in the US by a wide margin

🚨 At-will employment doesn't strip away your wage protections. California workers have the right to fair pay, overtime compensation, and protection from retaliation under Labor Code Section 98.6. If your employer threatens your job for reporting wage violations, that's illegal. #WorkersRights #WageTheft #LaborLaw #CaliforniaEmployment

#CaliforniaWorkers: Off-the-clock work is illegal, period. Whether it's 5 minutes or 50 minutes, if you're performing work-related tasks outside your clocked hours, you must be compensated. This includes pre-shift setup, post-shift cleanup, and donning protective equipment. Keep detailed records of all unpaid work time. #LaborRights #WageTheft #WorkersRights

ASIC is finally acting like the corporate watchdog it was meant to be. This deep dive by @abc shows how the regulator, long criticised as a "toothless tiger," has started bringing real cases against greenwashing, wage theft, and boardroom failures.
It's a reminder: strong, publicly-funded regulators are a cornerstone of a just economy. They protect people from predatory corporate behaviour that privatises profit and socialises harm.
For decades, neoliberalism defanged these institutions. When regulators don't regulate, workers get stolen from, consumers get lied to, and the planet gets greenwashed.#auspol #corporateaccountability #greenwashing #wagetheft #neoliberalism #economy
