The EEOC and US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division have just announced a partnership to “maximize the enforcement of federal laws and regulations”.
EEOC Chair Burrows states: “This collaboration will further effective outreach and enforcement with respect to the federal laws that advance equal employment opportunity and fair pay, including the recently enacted PUMP Act and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.”
Principal Deputy Wage and Hour Division Administrator Jessica Looman states: “Our partnership with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission helps us work across federal agencies to ensure workers are treated fairly, paid fairly and do not have to fear retaliation when demanding the workplace protections that federal labor laws such as the PUMP Act require.”
