Wage Justice Center
United States of America
As much as twenty nine percent of Los Angeles County's workforce is estimated to be employed by an underground economy of contractors and subcontractors. Even though progress has been made to increase the filing of wage claims these employers perennially ignore the judgments for unpaid wages unjustly keeping these wages as their profit. The Wage Justice Center works to provide a systematic solution to protect the basic economic rights of workers and enforce the collection of the approximately $50 million in unpaid wages by these employers. The Center's unique approach of enforcing judgments and creating a permanent enforcement mechanism for wage rights contributes to the growing national movement of organizations that combat the systemic inequality facing America s poorest workers. Using elements of commercial law debtor creditor law corporation s law trusts/estates law and bankruptcy law the Wage Justice Center in its first three years collected more than $800000 in funds owed to low income workers and provided assistance to hundreds of workers.
