Unpaid overtime is wage theft.
No, not really. From wikipedia:
Wage theft is the failing to pay wages or provide employee benefits owed to an employee by contract or law. It can be conducted by employers in various ways, among them are failing to pay overtime; violating minimum-wage laws; the misclassification of employees as independent contractors; illegal deductions in pay; forcing employees to work “off the clock”; not paying annual leave or holiday entitlements; or simply not paying an employee at all.
This is incredibly stupid and damaging to the cause.
Big bird don’t know shit about economics.

That’s not what that word means.
If you answer “yes” to any of the below, you’ve been a victim of wage theft:
Did you work for longer than you were paid for?
Did you work overtime, but were not paid overtime?
Were you paid less than what is legal?
Were you paid less than what you agreed to?
Does your job claim that you are on salary, or are a contractor, in order to pay you less or not provide certain protections?
