Law prof @ Seattle University, Workers' Rights Clinic. Write about wage theft and worker centers.
The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor just issued a new policy prohibiting the collection of interest on unpaid wages. This means that in any case where the WHD finds wage theft, it may only ask the employer to pay wages, regardless of how long the wages have been due.

Alt Legal Services describes my experience of founding that clinic and develops the theory of power building I wish I had 10 years ago. I hope you enjoy and that it provides a glimpse of hope in a terrible time. (I've linked to the whole issue because it's all great!)
