Garment workers are getting higher pay thanks to a new 2022 state law following a long history of wage theft. Organizers are making a national push for laborer protections.
California’s labor commissioner fined Playa Vista Car Wash $2.3 million for underpaying its workers. That was in 2019. Workers still haven’t received any of that back pay.
The state said the case against Playa Vista would be the largest wage theft payout by a California car wash. Years later Antonio Dominguez and dozens of other car washers have yet to see any of their unpaid wages.
