DOL nominee Andrew Puzder is opposed by many who content his confirmation as head of Labor would imperil regulations that are meant to protect workers. Here's what employment lawyers want to know.
Attorneys for the AFL-CIO filed a rare motion to intervene in the DOL overtime rule case, fearing that Trump's DOJ and Labor picks won't defend new regulations.
Word of Trumps expected pick brought praise from attorneys who represent employer interests, while labor advocates and some Democrats condemned the choice of DOL head.
Tax, benefits and retirement issues are slated for new scrutiny under Trumps Labor Department. Learn more about the man he has named leader of his labor transition team -- J. Steven Hart.
The DOL's overtime rule wasn't created to 'play some gotcha game' with HR, said David Weil, administrator of the DOLs Wage and Hour Division at a recent conference.
