  • like this if your taking LER110 from uiuc!!

  • As long as they are illegals. rip them off hard. work them 100 a week for 2 weeks and then call INS.

    That just helps not hurt.

    If they don't speak english, rip them off even more.

    Only Americans have rights in America. i those that want to protect the illegals from Mexico, move to

    exico and protect them all you want. But they are to be ripped off, stolen from and then hualed back acroos the border. Maybe then they won't come back.

  • people have rights, even if they aren't citizens.

    is there a suggestion that people deserve to be not paid? (that'd be slavery.)

    how is it a welfare state when we are talking about people trying to work for a living?

    y'all won't have to be so full of fear and vinegar when we live

    under improved conditions for everyone.

  • It is amazing first that employers try to steal from their employees, however, that sword swings both ways, what about the employee who steals time from the Employer, where is that reported. Hiring illegals you should be fined and/or criminal charges filed against you for supporting illegal activities. We need to stop employing illegals and hire the legal Americans' and stop this welfare state that everyone thinks helps America. It creates and promotes laziness and non productive.

  • Hey morons! If employers are holding your pay, tell the cops or tell your employer you are hiring an attorney! Laws already exist, no need for a coalition. Employers fear law suits, which cost a lot, over paying their employees, which is much smaller than the law suit. This makes no sense!

  • Has anyone bothered to ask where the numbers used in this video came from? Does anyone question these "facts"?

    Has anyone questioned who these people are and what their political agenda is beyond paycheck "justice".

    Illegals have NO rights beyond that of being treated humanly as they are sent back to their home country.

    The people who support the "rights" of illegals, are in essence supporting slavery.

  • Maybe illegals can join unions,then the true theft can begin.

  • How about you shouldnt be hiring illegals ? How about you shouldnt be here illegally ? Those are the real crimes. For the rest of the folks not getting paid (here legally) they have remedies for employers who dont pay. DONT believe the Hype coming from the COMMIE UNIONS .

  • So many oil"spill" workers didn't get paid, or didn't get paid for all the hours they worked.

  • This is after the fact, but in 2004 I worked for the Doubletree, a Hilton corporation. I was let go after working under deplorable conditions, and my last paycheck was not given to me. I figure this happened to all employees who left, Doubletree has money owed to me. I am still waiting. So much for our rights.

  • I don't understand. If I own a little diner and I employ 8 waitresses, obviously the money to pay them has to come from somewhere. If I have to pay them more either it's coming from my pocket, I'm tacking it on to prices, or I'm firing a couple waitresses.

  • Billions of dollars are stolen from millions of workers every year. If you want to help stop wage theft go here and sign the petition at change(dot)org...Search for Help Stop Wage Theft

  • It is not at all clear that minimum wage standards of any sort, particularly in low-wage industries, actually decrease employment. See udrive.oit.umass.edu/folbre/RE­ST_a_00039-Dube_proof2.pdf and an overview at economix.blogs.nytimes.com/201­0/11/01/along-the-minimum-wage­-battle-front/

  • Yeah, let's bring back slavery, that will legalize this practice. That is to say, slavery for anyone who is below the poverty line. We already have slave labor in prisons, where nonviolent minority offenders are put and set to work producing profits for the private prison system. We already have slavery in the workplace, where wages have not kept pace with inflation and the new norm is to make the employees feel "well at least you HAVE a job" while the boss takes home a nice bonus.

  • I mean, then there will be less jobs for people. Obviously I'm not talking about the actual cases of true theft in the video, I'm talking about the cases of low pay.

  • But, like, you realize these employers will hire less people, then, right?

  • Coast of living adjustments, health care, vacation, etc. Great video! Our labor creates ALL wealth!

  • This is such a great video - thank you IWJ!

  • I'm not sure I get this?

  • Why don't the people having their wages stolen stop working at these places of employment after they see their first paycheck?

  • @Apeneck0 If you haven't looked around lately, there are far more people seeking jobs then there are jobs for them. If you have to work to support yourself and your family, and all you can get are low end jobs, you usually have no choice but to put up with this illegal treatment. This is especially true in states with weaker worker's rights laws.
