Dialogues
What are the best ways to educate teens about their workplace rights, what they can and cannot do on the job, what hours they may work, workplace hazards and exposure controls, and other relevant work-related concerns?
Six agencies within DOL hosted this effort to gather ideas that will help guide DOL's efforts to eradicate labor trafficking and other types of labor abuses.
Participants shared ideas about (1) addressing health risks; (2) balancing self-determination and health; and (3) addressing increased unemployment.
