When you work in this country, you have the basic right to be safe while working. Your job, age, birthplace, language, or immigration status does not change your rights. No one should force you to work or withhold your pay.
All businesses – large or small are required to keep workers safe. At OSHA, we make sure employers follow safety laws so that workers can go home to their families safely at the end of every shift. And speak up about safety concerns without being fired, denied benefits or threatened.
Labor Rights Week is an annual observance held the week before Labor Day. The Mexican consulates and the U.S. Department of Labor have been collaborating for years to help ensure dignity, equity and justice for all workers.
We are here to help. Share information about safety conditions at work, by calling us at 1-800-321-6742 (OSHA). We can provide job safety and health information in multiple languages.
If you have any questions, please contact us at workersvoice@dol.gov.
