LOS ANGELES — The new Wage Theft Task Force launched by Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva on Feb. 9 will focus on protecting undocumented and documented workers in Southern California.
Villanueva said he wants to rebuild trust and affirm to wage theft victims that immigration status does not matter. Victims must file a complaint to the LASD to then be directed to the Special Victims Bureau. Every victim will be directed for support to the Office of Immigrant Affairs. Once the investigation has been reviewed, it will be directed to the California Labor Commission and joined or referred to the District Attorney’s Office.
The first of its kind task force will be a collaboration with community groups, the LA County Federation of Labor, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the Los Angeles County Office of Immigrant Affairs and the California Labor Commission.
