Labor management

Wage theft is when an employer fails to pay workers some or all the wages that they earned.  It disproportionately victimizes low-wage earners, including immigrants who may hesitate to report unscrupulous employers. 

Pre-apprenticeships bridge skill gaps to help participants who are not employment-ready learn both skills they need to qualify for entry into high-quality registered apprenticeship programs and the competencies to successfully complete those apprenticeships.

The five titles of the LMRDA cover a range of activities.

At the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards, we’re committed to advancing labor-management transparency while ensuring workers have a voice in their workplaces.
