Millions of dollars in wages are stolen from workers every day. Close to 46 percent of low age workers experience some form of wage theft. Wage Theft Comics: Crime and Justice is an activist comic that both chronicles the experience of low wage victims of wage theft and guides workers and potential allies towards a path for justice. The authors, writer Jeffry Odell Korgen (The True Cost of Low Prices: The Violence of Globalization) and author/illustrator Kevin Pyle (Prison Town and Take What You Can Carry) conducted interviews in the Houston area in order to create personal stories of actual people who struggle with the consequences of their exploitation and their attempts to end it. Korgen and Pyle intersperse these stories with infographics that illuminate the full scope and prevalence of the problem and help workers navigate the complexities of seeking justice. Printed in English and Spanish, Wage Thefts Comics is published by Interfaith Worker Justice, with the help of Fe Y Justicia, a worker center in the Houston area. Combining moving personal stories and shocking facts, Wage Theft Comics ultimately seeks to educate and inspire workers and the people who care about them to come together, organize, and put a stop to the shameful practice of wage theft.
