Cleveland City Council approved on Monday, December 5, an ordinance banning the city of Cleveland from doing business with companies found to practice wage theft and those that commit payroll fraud.
The new law bars Cleveland from granting financial assistance to such companies or entering into contracts with them for city services or construction.
The measure is a victory for advocacy group Guardians for Fair Work, which has been lobbying city officials this year to deliver wage-theft protections for Cleveland workers.
