Worker Protection Public Meetings

The Worker Protection Task Force is a group of state agencies, designated county state’s attorneys and other stakeholders, committed to enforcing workplace protections. The Worker Protection Unit Task Force was created as part of a law that formally establishes a Worker Protection Unit within the Office of the Attorney General. It is composed of agencies charged with protecting the state’s workers to help combine resources in the most efficient and effective manner to assist the public.

The Task Force seeks to promote statewide outreach and enforcement efforts to target businesses that violate the State’s worker protection laws. The Task Force works cooperatively with labor and community organizations, businesses and business coalitions, and other advocacy groups to increase public awareness concerning worker’s rights and laws, and to promote fairness, combat discrimination, and protect the welfare of the State.
