The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries has failed to collect nearly $5 million in wage theft claims from employers since 2015 according to a new analysis from InvestigateWest. It also found that employers in industries with more low-wage and undocumented workers, like construction and agriculture, left more wages and penalties unpaid. Kaylee Tornay, investigative reporter with InvestigateWest, joins us to discuss her findings.
