LD1711 - Enforcement of Labor Laws

(2021)

An Act To Enhance Enforcement of Employment Laws

What is the bill?

Labor laws ensure that there are basic standards protecting workplace health and safety, wage and hour laws or preventing discrimination. We expect these laws to be followed and enforced. Unfortunately, violations of workplace rights are all too commonplace. LD 1711 would empower workers to better enforce labor laws by allowing workers to blow the whistle in court if their employers violate workplace laws.
