Essential Workers – Essential Protections: Webinar for New Mexico Workers and Advocacy Groups (SPANISH)

The U.S. Department of Labor, in partnership with El Centro de Igualidad y Derechos and NM Café (Comunidades En Acción Y De Fé), the New Mexico Workforce Solutions and Somos Un Pueblo Unido will present a Spanish-language webinar on WHD’s Essential Workers Essential Protections on May 26 at 5:00 p.m.

Workers in grocery stores, health care, delivery services, retail establishments, agriculture, and other essential industries have remained on the job despite many potential risks to their own health or that of their families. The Wage and Hour Division is committed to ensuring that these, and all workers, receive the workplace protections provided under the law.

Rapid changes in the workplace have surfaced many questions for workers, their advocates, and employers about wages, hours worked, and time off for workers or their family members dealing with serious illness. The Fair Labor Standards Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act provide protections for workers that may be more crucial now than ever before.

WHD is pleased to offer Spanish language training on these critical workplace protections through our Essential Workers - Essential Protections Initiative.
