Trump and Elon Musk are waging a war on workers – including threatening to gut the Department of Labor (DOL).
DOL is a critically important federal agency that is often the only line of defense to protect workers from unlawful and hazardous workplace conditions. DOL is also the federal agency that oversees and funds workforce training so that workers from all communities can get good jobs.
DOL is at risk of being decimated and no longer able to protect and defend workers on the front lines. The Trump Administration (through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)) is forcing DOL to submit a proposal to slash its subagencies and workforce. If this happens, workers across the country will have no federal protection against wage theft, child labor, and unsafe and hazardous conditions.
Will you send a message to Congress and demand that your lawmakers protect workers by protecting the Department of Labor? Stop Trump and Musk’s attempts to let corporate billionaires get away with undermining workers’ rights.
