South Florida Wage Theft Task Force
The South Florida Wage Theft Task Force (WTTF), an alliance coordinated by the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC) that includes immigrant rights organizations, women's and faith community groups, labor unions, legal services providers, a research institute, a childcare worker/employer alliance, and others, was founded in 2007 out of local Miami synergy around immigrants rights, the defense of day laborers and support for an emerging worker center. It brought together organizations already doing work on these issues to create a new collaboration that would advance this work farther than the organizations could do alone. Beyond simply combating wage theft, we believe that this work will be a huge step forward in growing the workers' rights movement in Florida. The WTTF had received recognition from national organizations such as the National Employment Law Project for our innovative work on this issue and is looked to as a model for change in other parts of the country.
