Local wage theft has Cleveland musician and the Northeast Ohio Worker Center calling for change Story:
CLEVELAND — Andy Schumann is a Cleveland musician who reports wage theft is sadly a way of life for too many Northeast Ohio artists and he's hoping for greater accountability and penalties on companies who steal from their employees.
U.S. Labor Department data compiled by Policy Matters Ohio researcher Michael Shields in a 2022 report indicated more than 213,000 Ohioans fall victim to wage theft every year. In Cleveland, the Northeast Ohio Worker Center and its board chairperson Grace Heffernan are working to educate and empower employees who believe they are victims of wage theft.
The agency said it's working on reducing the problem with training and education for companies and organizations, and issued the following statement: Should our newly created portal result in an increase in the number of investigations coming into the Bureau then staffing levels will be reviewed by the administration to ensure that the increased demand is met.
