Department of Labor launch new platform for workers' rights

Worker.gov, currently in beta, is dedicated to the needs of workers. It was developed in response to feedback received during the White House Summit on Worker Voice, regional worker voice summits, and listening sessions with workers across the nation who found existing government websites detailing their rights difficult to navigate or understand.

Their launch release stated: “We’re removing the guesswork, and providing workers access to critical information about their rights under the major labor statutes in a way that makes sense for them. Worker.gov recognizes the simple truth that people do not think about having an “FLSA” or “FMLA” or “Title VII” problem. They just know that they have an unfairness-on-the-job problem.” Given that the website is still in beta, worker.gov will continue to evolve and improve in response to input and feedback of users.]]>
