This morning, I'm at the Mayor/Council Breakfast talking about our office's accomplishments and goals regarding #WageTheft and #CivilRights in the District.
Our office has made protecting workers a priority.
After working with @councilofdc in 2017 to obtain independent authority to investigate and bring #wagetheft cases, we've launched over 30 investigations and recovered millions of dollars from unscrupulous employers.
@councilofdc OAG secured its largest #wagetheft settlement requiring Power Design—a major electrical contractor—to pay $2.75 million to harmed workers and the District.
This is the latest in OAG efforts to ensure workers get the wages and benefits they've earned: bit.ly/2sJKOzx
@councilofdc With investment from @councilofdc, OAG launched its #CivilRights Section in 2019 to ensure equal treatment and meaningful opportunity for every DC resident.
We've already filed several lawsuits to stop housing discrimination in DC and intro'd important civil rights legislation.
@councilofdc Also, after several #CivilRights listening sessions this past summer, OAG released a report elevating local concerns about housing #discrimination, racism, and violence against the #LGBTQ+ community—and how OAG is responding to protect residents: bit.ly/2JXw3hP
