As a Member of the Committee on Education & the Workforce Democrats, I'm proud to recently support the House passage of the Stronger Workforce for America Act. Let us continue to stand with all workers and support increased access to good-paying job opportunities for everyone.
The March #JobsReport showed us that the economy added 303,000 jobs, unemployment decreased to 3.8%, and real wages are up.
Ensuring worker safety is a national priority. On #WorkersMemorialDay , we pay tribute to those who lost their lives on the job and reaffirm that every worker should have the basic right to a safe work environment.
Thank you to USW Local 8888! Workers’ Memorial Day is a reminder of the toll of workplace illness and injury. In 2022 alone, over 3.5 million workers were injured or made sick because of their jobs.
Farmworkers are some of the most vulnerable workers in America.
Thanks to the U.S. Department of Labor new rule, H-2A workers will be empowered to stand up to some of the biggest challenges they face – such as employer retaliation, unsafe working conditions, and illegal recruitment practices.
