The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will host a two-day online forum titled "Ensuring a Strong Foundation of Compliance with Federal Labor Laws in Construction" on May 8-9, 2024. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CDT each day, addressing aspects of compliance with federal laws governing wages, safety and other workplace issues.
According to a recent release, the forum will feature presentations and panel discussions with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, OSHA, the Wage and Hour Division, the Employment Benefits Security Administration, the Employment and Training Administration, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the Office of Labor-Management Standards, Veterans’ Employment Training Service and the Women’s Bureau.

“The Department of Labor has responsibility for protecting the rights of our nation’s workforce ensuring a safe and healthy workplace while assisting employers to understand their responsibilities under the law,” Wage and Hour Division Regional Administrator Betty Campbell in Dallas said in a statement. “That’s why the department offers workers and employers the tools and guidance they need to understand federal regulations at events like this, in our regional offices and throughout many of the department’s websites.”
