Rosendale/Mace Amendment #53 to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025

June 14, 2024 | H.R. 8752

Working people opposed the Part C Rosendale/Mace amendment #53 that would have prohibited funding to be used to carry out the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) memorandum titled "Worksite Enforcement: The Strategy to Protect the American Labor Market, the Conditions of the American Worksite, and the Dignity of the Individual.’’ The DHS worksite enforcement memo aims to support effective enforcement of wage protections, workplace safety, labor rights, and other laws and standards that protect every worker in this country. The enforcement strategies outlined in this memo are key to reining in rampant wage theft, preventing needless workplace fatalities and combating the shameful resurgence of child labor in the 21st century. The practical effect of this amendment would be to allow unscrupulous employers to violate workers’ rights with impunity.

This is Bad for working people.
