Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer reopened the program for DOL staff earlier this month after it was first launched in January, warning that reductions in force at the agency were forthcoming… Worker advocates and employment attorneys have warned that any cuts to DOL staff could hurt the agency’s ability to enforce child labor, minimum wage, family leave, or other worker protections, resulting in fewer inspections and fines for businesses covered by the agency.
