United States: Staying Compliant—Avoiding Wage Theft In New York - Venable LLP

Retail theft has skyrocketed over the last few years. After the "defund the police" movement, soft-on-crime policies have decriminalized things like theft, making it easy for organized retail theft rings to form, for mobs of thugs to empty the shelves of every type of store, market, gas station, or shop, and create wealth for themselves and their "employees." While it's easy to live in a state like Texas or Florida that still prosecutes crime and sends thugs to jail, and tell states like New York, California, Oregon, and Illinois that they voted for these things and feel relief that we don't have to deal with it - the reality is that there's a really good chance that we're ALL fueling theft, from the very comfort of our own homes, and we don't even know it.
