Worker Protections
Workers are the driving force of this country, and Democratic AGs are committed to fighting alongside workers and unions to ensure safe conditions with fair pay that is free of harassment and discrimination.
From taking on payroll fraud and stolen pay, to holding employers accountable for unsafe or unhealthy working conditions, to helping to secure PPE and other critical resources for frontline workers when COVID-19 began to spread, Democratic AGs aren’t afraid to take on powerful interests on behalf of workers.
