Several key Labor Department regulators participated in a liberal
conference focused on unionizing subcontractors and franchise employees.
Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division Administrator David Weil delivered opening remarks to a room full of union organizers and activists from the National Employment Law Project, a pro-union group partnered with the liberal millionaires and billionaires from the Democracy Alliance, in May.
“I view my task as helping to work with the people in the agency and in concert with worker advocates,” he said.
Weil told the gathering that the department has “undertaken a bunch of specific initiatives in particular industries,” in order to crack down on employers. The department, he said, has focused specifically on “the hotel industry, the restaurant industry, construction, the agricultural sector, [and] healthcare.”
