It’s impossible to cover every labor & employment story that hits every week. The most interesting news of the week that I did not yet have a chance to cover is the revelation that Department of Labor enforcement data is now available online. Right now, your search capabilities are limited to division and state. Thanks to Dan Schwartz’s Connecticut Employment Law Blog and the Workplace Prof Blog for reporting on this issue.
