Ok, i have to ask, what is the definition of wage theft, is it employers shorting employees or employees taking payment for hours worked but not actually working those hours?

You better believe it. No one is indispensable at any level of a company except the people who own it.

The cemetery is full of irreplaceable people.

From Wiki...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_theft

Wage theft is the denial of wages or employee benefits that are rightfully owed to an employee. Wage theft can be conducted through various means such as: failure to pay overtime, minimum wage violations, employee misclassification, illegal deductions in pay, working off the clock, or not being paid at all.
According to some studies, wage theft is common in the United States, particularly from low wage legal or illegal immigrant workers.[1][2] The Economic Policy Institute reported in 2014 that survey evidence suggests wage theft costs US workers billions of dollars a year.[3] Some rights violated by wage theft have been guaranteed to workers in the United States in the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).[4]

The issue that I see too often is a moving​ target for bonuses. EBITDA was abused to the point that we spent nearly an entire contract negotiation with our main goal being the removal of the concept from the contract. You can make EBITDA do whatever you need in order to get the numbers that favor you.

Then we have "continuous improvement." Let's use "Jesus" as an example. He operates the mill at peak efficiency for three months and receives a nice bonus. For the rest of the year he gets nothing because he isn't able to improve upon perfection. We negotiated that out.

We have managerial decisions that destroy production campaigns held against us because​ "we're all in this together." Nevermind the fact that the employees usually caution against those decisions.

Another that we have experienced is that earned bonuses go unpaid because the market crashes before the checks are cut.
