Welcome to the Consular Partnership Program

As someone contributing to the U.S. economy, the Department of Labor ensures that you have the same rights as U.S. citizens in the workplace. The CPP collaborates with foreign consulates to provide essential information and assistance to foreign workers like you. Your embassy or consulate is a trusted resource for any questions about your rights at work, including guidance on filing complaints. We're here to support you in ensuring a safe and fair working environment, regardless of your immigration status.

The Role of Consulates

Your home country's government has offices across the U.S. to help you while you live or work here. The Department of Labor cares about the rights of all workers, including those from other countries. That's why we're working together with the embassies of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, as well as their local offices. This teamwork ensures you get the information and support you need while working in the United States.

Here's how this partnership can benefit you:

  1. Information and Help: DOL wants to make sure you understand your work rights. In collaboration with consulates, they provide easy-to-understand information and assistance.
  2. Learning Opportunities: Special sessions or workshops near your workplace may explain work rules, fair pay, and job safety. These sessions teach you what you need to know to stay safe and secure while working in the U.S.
  3. Useful Materials: Department of Labor offices throughout the U.S. work in partnership with local consulates to share useful materials that explain how to report problems at work or ask for help. These materials are available in different languages so you can easily access and understand them.
  4. Finding Support: If you encounter problems or violations of your rights, the Department of Labor and your nearest consulate can guide you to the right place for help. They're here to support you; even helping you file a confidential complaint.

Remember, the Department of Labor, along with consulates, is on your side. They want to ensure you're treated equally to U.S. citizens in the workplace. If you have questions or need assistance with your work rights, including how to file a complaint, don't hesitate to reach out. They are committed to supporting you throughout your work journey in the United States.

Labor Rights Week

Welcome to Labor Rights Week in the United States, a collaborative effort between the Mexican Embassy and its network of 52 consulates, along with the U.S. Department of Labor and other federal labor agencies. This partnership highlights the commitment of both nations to ensuring labor rights, promoting safe and healthful workplaces, and full payment of wages protected under federal law.

This week serves as a celebration and recognition of the fundamental rights of all workers across the nation, encompassing a range of local level activities aimed at promoting awareness, education, and advocacy for labor rights in the United States. Each year, during the week that precedes Labor Day, consulates and federal labor agency field offices organize various events and initiatives to engage workers, employers, organizations, and communities. Some common types of activities that take place during Labor Rights Week are:

  • Workshops and training sessions
  • Outreach and education campaigns
  • Community events and fairs
  • Legal assistance and consultations*
  • Media campaigns

These activities during Labor Rights Week serve to empower workers, strengthen labor protections, and foster a culture of respect and fairness in the workplace. By engaging individuals, organizations and communities, Labor Rights Week contributes to the broader goal of ensuring dignity, equality, and justice for all workers.

*In some cases, Labor Rights Week may offer opportunities for workers to receive legal advice, consultations, or referrals to seek help on potential labor rights violations.
