Walker visited Washington D.C. to meet with U.S. Department of Labor, DOL Wage and Hour Division, Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries officials to address child labor violations and discuss ways to create a safer work environment for young workers. The numbers speak: 🔎 In 2023, L&I’s Bureau of Labor Law Compliance investigators experienced a 43 percent increase in child labor cases in Pennsylvania, up from 402 in 2022 to 574 in 2023. Governor Josh Shapiro's proposed 2024-25 budget reflects this urgency, allocating $1.2 million to bolster L&I’s labor law enforcement capabilities by adding 12 labor law investigators to the existing team of 27.

Instead, low-paying employers are using them as a cheap source of labor in our tight labor market. https://lnkd.in/eWpynxGf
