Reply to comment by ShinyGodzilla in McDonald's franchisee to pay $1M to employees for violating workers' rights at 7 Brooklyn locations by Eriosyces

It’s a labor violation not a crime.

Are crime posts removed now? Probably for the better if so

They’re directed to the crime mega thread that is stickies to the top of the sub.

When did that happen? I remember two days ago when someone asked to stop seeing crime posts, that’s all it takes and the sub rules changed?

People have been asking for the change for years, just giving it a shot.

That’s a bummer I think knowing what goes on in our city is a good thing though I realize other people like to only think happy thoughts.

Theft of wages is a "crime". I guess some "crimes" are more equal than others.

This story is about a labor violation, hence the fine. If they prosecute this as a crime that would be great, but the article is about the labor violation and subsequent fine.

So, some "crimes" are more equal than others. Got it Napoleon. 🤫🤐

There's a difference between criminal and civil penalties. If you steal millions from your employees, you don't get arrested and sent to Rikers. That is not in the NY Penal Law.

I guess if you want to ignore the actual response and facts here so you can play the victim, sure.

Please dear leader tell us what is and isn't a "crime".

Don’t need to ask me. You can read the article That’s really clear that this is not a crime. No need to get upset at others because of your own confusion or need to feel persecuted.
