The partnership between @USDOL and @NCDOL has been one of the strongest in the country under @POTUS. It was great to join North Carolina Labor Commissioner @LukeFarleyNC and @OSHA_DOL’s Assistant Secretary David Keeling at LiftOne Headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the North Carolina OSHA State Plan. Because of this close collaboration, we’re ensuring the safety of every North Carolinian as they achieve career success in the workplace and there’s no better place to celebrate this historic partnership than at LiftOne Headquarters where safety in heavy equipment-intensive industries is best exemplified. 📍Charlotte, North Carolina

More than $3.7 million back in the pockets of North Carolina workers. A new WRAL report highlights the N.C. Department of Labor’s record-breaking Wage and Hour recoveries – more than $3,7 million recovered for more than 2,000 workers across 89 counties during the last fiscal year. Behind every dollar is a worker who earned it.  If you believe you’re owed unpaid wages, NCDOL can help. Learn more and file a wage complaint at labor.nc.gov
