Workers Encouraged to Seek Wage Rights

The Department of Labor is encouraging low-wage and immigrant workers to report employers who are breaking wage and hour rules. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis launched a campaign called “We Can Help” asked workers to report their employers if they suspected pay violations.

The wage and hour division of the Labor Department recently hired more than 250 additional investigators and is rolling out bilingual public-service announcements as part of a publicity campaign. The push is not limited to low-wage and immigrant workers, but is targeted for these groups because the Department identifies them as  most vulnerable.
