A new proposal at the Fresno City Council would let city attorneys prosecute wage theft cases.
They could bring both criminal and civil charges against thieving bosses.

Both the state and local business lobbies oppose the policy.
Fresno's Chamber of Commerce said cracking down on wage theft would 'drive business away' from the city.

@WeThePeople Chamber of Commerce saying the quiet part out loud.
@t_heislen @WeThePeople those Chambers don’t care about anything but $$$. If they’re against it you can bet it’s a good deal for the people.
