most wage thefts are not even reported. boss makes you come in early? stay late? have lunch at your desk? answer emails and calls outside of work? those are still wage theft even if they never touch your pay check.
and if I were to put my Marx hat, then all for profit business is wage theft (although I get it is not legally so, but who made that fucking law?)

Found wage theft. That is, of the number of incidents reported, which ones were ruled to be theft. But there’s the undocumented part of wage theft.

On top of that, there are “legitimate” cases that should be considered wage theft, i.e. extraction of value from the worker.
