From Cynthia Brooke of Interfaith Worker Justice, passed along by Joanne Welter:

Tune in to ABC's Good Morning America tomorrow (Wednesday, March 25) to see Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) Executive Director Kim Bobo interviewed about the national crisis of wage theft that she unmasks in her recent book Wage Theft in America: Why Millions of Working Americans Are Not Getting Paid-And What We Can Do About It.

The segment will air during the program's first hour, sometime between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. (across the country).

Tomorrow the Government Accounting Office (GAO) will reveal the findings of an undercover investigation into the Labor Department's ability to enforce and investigate violations of our nation's minimum wage, overtime and child labor laws. Those findings will be the subject of a House Education and Labor Committee hearing tomorrow morning.Kim delivered testimony at a July hearing of the House Education and Labor Committee on the failure to protect workers from wage theft. You can watch that testimony here or read it here.

If you can't catch tomorrow's show live, you can find the segment on the ABC News investigative page following the broadcast.

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this message along to friends and colleagues! And if you don't yet have a copy of Kim's book, you can purchase one here.

Wage theft can be stopped, but we need partners like you to make that happen. Support our nation's workers and donate to Interfaith Worker Justice. Together, we can put millions of workers and their families on a more just path.
