But remember that the low wage theft of the low wage workers is the WORST of all of these thefts--we need exposure of this crime by the corporate heads [Kroger among the worst].

These are two different issues. This article is saying тАЬdonтАЩt look over here, look over there!тАЭ You can accept that people are stealing and also that companies are engaging in wage theft.

True, but corporations prefer to use theft and the fear of organized criminality to justify their prices (or inflation) to say they canтАЩt afford wages. Business groups avoid collecting data that would hurt their lobbying efforts. They can use internal measures to detect thefts - especially by employees or while customers scan products. If the the problem was so major & needed help from the government business associations would be collecting data like mad.
