    The reason wage theft exist is people not knowing their rights.

    Except that companies break the law when it comes to wage theft all the time and get away with it regardless. So no, that’s not the reason.

      If no one calls them on it, of course they get away with it. How many people you know understand that state labor boards even exist?

        People do call them on it. They get away with it regardless. You’re living in a world where Boeing kills whistleblowers who reveal the obvious fact that their planes are so shitty they fall apart in mid-air and you think that the workers are to blame for wage theft.
