    The thing is that it muddies the waters.

    • Wage theft is criminal. Basically everyone agrees it’s immoral and illegal.

    • Statistically it’s the biggest form of theft in the US

    • If you become aware of it you should report it, perhaps get a lawyer, and expect a payout.

    If you expand the definition to include undervaluing staff, none of the above are true.

      The legal use doesn’t change with colloquial use and definitions are kept specifically within the laws regardless of common use so it won’t change any outcomes?
