The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division has launched the Essential Workers, Essential Protections initiative to ensure that workers know about the wage and hour laws that protect them – and how to contact us to get the help they need.
We are very pleased to share with you additional materials and information to support this initiative:
In the coming weeks, WHD will share more multilingual materials for essential workers, including radio public service announcements, social media posts via Facebook and other platforms, and other materials, including posters to be displayed in neighborhood gathering spots.
Anyone with questions about workers’ rights should email WHD or call 866-4US-WAGE to speak confidentially and directly with a trained professional. WHD has the capacity to speak with callers in more than 200 languages, and enforces workers’ rights regardless of immigration status. |
