Judy Conti, government affairs director at the National Employment Law Project, notes that the Department of Labor's focus could shift under Trump's administration, signaling a crackdown on worker protections.
Under Julie Su, the current leader of the Department of Labor, efforts have centered around protecting vulnerable workers, particularly undocumented immigrants; expectations are that this focus will change with Trump's leadership.
Experts predict Trump's administration will unwind the Biden administration's efforts to increase employee protections, impacting workplace enforcement priorities significantly, especially for low-wage earners.
Conti highlights past experiences with labor enforcement under hostile administrations towards immigrants, suggesting profound changes in how vulnerable communities will be treated under the incoming administration.
