Abstract
This article looks at three grocery stores in Kensington, Brooklyn that continue to pay immigrant workers below legal wages despite courts and the Department of Labor penalizing them for it repeatedly. The reporting speaks to the ineffectiveness of the law at deterring labor violations, the commonality of wage theft in New York's grocery stores, and the impacts it has on workers.
