Highlights from Workplace Rights Week
Workplace Rights Week [ [link removed] ], Sept. 22-28, 2024, aimed to teach workers and employers about their rights and duties at work. The Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) interacted with businesses and community leaders in different cities to emphasize the importance of a fair workplace. We reached over 1,243 businesses, 18 community organizations in 29 cities, hosted two webinars for 325 people on workers’ rights and wage protection and had around 3,869 interactions on social media. The partnership with the city of St. Paul, the U.S Department of Labor, Health Systems Cooperative Laundries in St. Paul, Teamsters Local 471 and Workers United representatives played a major role in the success of the event.

Question of the month
"Are employers generally subject to both state and federal child labor laws?"
Yes, employers are generally subject to state laws and provisions in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act [ [link removed] ] (FLSA). Certain Minnesota child labor laws are more protective than federal law and vice versa. Employers covered by both Minnesota child labor laws and the federal FLSA must follow the most protective provisions that apply to their employees. Additional child labor law information:
