In an era of governance by tweet, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro is touting the creation of a “Fair Labor Section” to prosecute employers. His tweet coincided with last week’s 80^th anniversary of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Attorney General is empowered to pursue civil and criminal penalties against alleged “wage theft.” The initiation of prosecution is inevitably coupled with a media blitz about the employer’s alleged wrongdoing.

Be careful out there.
