Backed by $500,000 in state funding and starting with three staff members, this unit is poised to grow and enforce labor laws more aggressively — ensuring workers get paid what they’re owed, work in safe environments, and aren’t exploited. It’s a direct response to rampant labor abuses and signals Virginia’s renewed commitment to holding employers accountable.
