Employees at the Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) are confronting severe job cuts, with proposals to reduce the workforce by 90%. They received an email offering deferred resignation options and early retirement to help navigate these changes. Concerns have been raised by staff regarding their job security and the pressures they face to make quick decisions. Former OFCCP Director Jenny R. Yang highlighted the agency's importance in uncovering workplace issues through its audits, emphasizing the negative impact of potential agency downsizing on workers' rights enforcement.
Employees are worried about their livelihoods, that they're being pushed out of their jobs and not given options [and] not given enough time to make real-life decisions for their families, said one OFCCP employee who preferred to be unnamed due to fears of retaliation.
Former OFCCP Director Jenny R. Yang, who also served as chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said the agency's audits of contractors helped expose unnoticed issues.
