White House launches pro-worker website

The White House on Friday announced the launch of worker.gov, a new one-stop website to inform people of their rights and legal options under federal worker protection laws, including how to form a union.

“The tool guides workers on a structured journey that provides them with opportunities to take action or find help if they have had wages stolen, been injured on the job, faced discrimination or been retaliated against for joining together to seek better wages or conditions at work,” the White House said. The launch was characterized as am “initial beta test.”
