For example, the corporation General Dynamics Information Technology
owns a number of call centers that serve Federal contracts. In the last
10 years, they have agreed to pay $412,000 in back wages to 921
employees for Fair Labor Standards Act violations. Immigrants and
residents of low-income communities are often at the greatest risk for
abuse at the hands of employers who do wage theft. The government should be doing everything it can to protect workers
from intimidation and stolen wages. If this amendment passes, companies
like General Dynamics Information Technology won't be able to continue
to do what they have been doing.
