The Department is committed to fostering workplaces that
are safe, healthy, and fair. To meet this objective, the Department is
dedicated to increasing the representation, advancement, and promotion of
women, people of color, veterans, and people with disabilities in the
workplace; providing access to quality child care for working families; and
improving worker safety and health. As today's workplace is increasingly
affected by global markets, DOL will also address core international labor
standards and child labor issues.
