The Filipino Migrant Center spearheaded the creation of the Coalition to End Wage Theft in Long Beach in an effort to address the issue of unpaid wages/stealing of wages many low income workers face on the job.
The Filipino Migrant Center is one of many Long Beach organizations, labor unions, academics, businesses, and religious leaders urging the City of Long Beach to pass a policy to raise the minimum wage to $15, strengthen protections for workers against wage theft, and guarantee at least 5 paid sick days. The Filipino Migrant Center also educates residents on how to file a wage claim or complaint.
