Arise Chicago, an organization focused on building partnerships between faith communities and workers in the Chicago area, successfully ushered in a new anti-wage theft ordinance which is to take effect this summer. The ordinance passed the City Council by unanimous vote. The ordinance allows the city to suspend or revoke a business license of businesses who violate the Illinois’ Wage Payment and Collection Act.
The Ordinance comes after a University of Illinois study finding wage theft rampant in Chicago car washes. http://www.wbez.org/news/study-wage-theft-rampant-chicago-car-washes-102562
