The Virgin Islands Department of Labor, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, will present a workshop on Federal Labor Laws from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Monday, July 21, at Gertrude's Restaurant on St. Croix.
The educational workshop will focus on the following topics: Equal Pay Act of 1963; Age Discrimination, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; ADA; Protected Activities in a Non-Union Workplace; Practice and Procedures before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB); Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); and Affirmative Action under U.S. Government Contracts. All employers, employees, labor unions and other interested parties are invited and encouraged to attend this free workshop.
"The Department of Labor has embarked on a public education campaign designed to inform the general public about the myriad of programs and services that we provide, as well as the laws that govern them. By keeping employers, employees, and all other stakeholders informed, we hope to reduce the incidence of disharmony, disparity and dissension in the workplace, and to protect the rights of both the employer and the employee," Said Commissioner of Labor Albert Bryan Jr.
