    WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A nonprofit advocacy group is holding a weekend forum in Wichita on the issue of wage theft.

    Sunflower Community Action says the public meeting will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Evergreen Park Recreation Center.

    The group contends there’s a growing problem of employees being misclassified and cheated out of proper compensation, which it calls wage theft. It says companies sometime misclassify workers as contractors rather than employees to avoid paying certain taxes and benefits.

    Labor activists are trying to build support for Kansas legislation to penalize businesses and individuals who repeatedly violate wage laws. Sunflower Community Action also wants to give the state Labor Department more resources.
