History

Historical Context

In 2011 New York City passed the Wage Theft Prevention Act, criminalizing wage theft and authorizing civil penalties. It followed Miami-Dade County’s 2010 ordinance and a 2012 federal effort that recovered $280 million for workers. The act now empowers Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to charge Salon 1884 founder Andrea Marshall with a 16-count, $54,000 theft, underscoring tighter oversight of luxury retailers.
