What Can I Do To Help?

The former employees of Va Pensiero are doing all they can to resolve their claim for just compensation.   You can help by not using Mr. Muldrow’s catering service Red Limo Cuisine at 320 Happ Rd in Northfield and spreading the word that while Mr. Muldrow’s food may be delicious, if he’s failed to pay his workers for work they’ve already done that leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Contact Arise-Chicago workers’ center at 773-769-6000 or drop us an email (jacob@arisechicago.org) for more information and more specific ways on how you can help!

Wage Theft? What’s That?

Basically, wage theft happens when workers don’t get paid for work they completed.  No matter what the economic situation of an employer, the Fair Labor Standard Act mandates that for every hour worked by an employee, his or her employer must pay them for work.

Each year, workers in the United States have billions of dollars stolen from them as a result of their employers depriving their employees of legally mandated wages.  Low-wage workers are the people most impacted by wage theft.  The largest sums of money are missing from the paychecks of native-born, middle-income workers who are not paid what is due to them for working overtime.  Wage theft occurs in every income-tax bracket, in every industry, and in every state.
