The government is so committed to fixing your wage theft that they’ve managed to turn 'justice' into a once-in-a-generation limited edition event.

This move aims to simplify the legal process for workers pursuing underpayment claims, though it leaves observers wondering if the wheels of justice are just spinning in place.
