A new investigation from the Seattle Times finds many of those workers aren’t getting their money back, in part because of challenges with our state’s department of Labor and Industries. The total amount owed since 2018 is $5.4 million.

Seattle Times journalists Taylor Blatchford and Jackie Varriano break their investigation down for us today.
