Wage Theft Exposed

Millions of workers are being robbed every payday, and the federal watchdogs that are supposed to be keeping this from happening are snoozing on the job.

Kim Bobo, the executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice, took her fight against what she calls "wage theft" this week to the Department of Labor, where she said the Bush administration has failed to enforce laws that safeguard worker salaries and prosecute offenders.

In this interview, she explains how wage theft happens and what the next administration and Congress has to do to undo the neglect of the Bush administration, which Bobo said has refused to seek adequate federal resources to police violations.
