Workers, Represented by NCLEJ, Demand that the NYS Department of Labor Enforce Labor Law

On behalf of its client the National Mobilization Against Sweatshops (NMASS), NCLEJ sent a demand letter to the New York State Department of Labor to thoroughly and promptly investigate its unacceptable backlog of cases. At a press conference outside the DOL office on November 12, workers shared how the DOL has mishandled their wage theft complaints. “The Department of Labor is failing workers in New York State. We are demanding that the Department of Labor fulfill its duties to enforce New York’s labor law,” said Dodyk Fellow Leah Lotto.
