Hillary: ‘I Am Going to Make Some Employers Go To Jail’

Speaking at a Labor Day rally in Hampton, Ill., today Hillary Clinton threatened to imprison employers for "wage theft."

"We're going to go back to enforcing labor laws," Clinton said. "I'm going to make sure that some employers go to jail for wage theft and all the other abuses that they engage in."

"And we are going to make it harder and harder to stop what should be the right of every American: to join a union and bargain collectively through that union," she continued. "But, I'll tell you, we've got a fight on our hands."

The presumed 2016 Democratic candidate also endorsed President Obama's executive order mandating government contractors provide employees "paid leave." 

"I was very proud that President Obama said today he is going to require federal contractors to provide 7 days of earned paid sick leave," she said. "And he's going to fight for paid family leave, something that I've been fighting for for 30 years and we're going to get it done. It's not right to treat working people as tough they don't have other responsibilities."
