    Yep. Big bird’s description is the increase of exploitation on the workers. Wage theft is denying wages you are due. Very similar in how they effect you and how they feel, definitionally different.

      And legally different. As long as the employer is paying a legal wage and abiding by all the overtime, meal, and tip laws, it’s not illegal to pay someone less than they’re worth.
