LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division is conducting a multiyear enforcement initiative focused on Southern California’s garment industry, in which it historically has found consistent and widespread violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions. The initiative is concentrating on employers in Los Angeles and Orange counties, as well as those operating out of large garment buildings in Los Angeles’ Fashion District.
