. @POTUS and @SecCardona have been working hard to cancel student debt for working Americans — so far, 4.6 million people have had a total of $160 BILLION wiped out! But we’re not done yet. We’re going to keep pushing for full student debt cancellation.

Heat illness is a serious—and sometimes deadly—threat to workers. With a warming climate, we need strong federal heat protections to prevent deaths and injuries. I asked @ActSecJulieSu when the OSHA standard on heat is expected to be finalized.

This week, House @EdWorkforceDems released "A Slap on the Wrist" - a new report on how out-of-date caps on fines under a slew of labor laws aren't enough to deter lawbreakers. It's time to update those fines.

The initial 504 rule to protect people with disabilities from discrimination was created before the internet had even been invented – it’s been long overdue for an update. The final rule we unveiled today reflects input from advocates and @POTUS ’ commitment to this issue.

Civil monetary penalties are supposed to serve as a deterrent and hold bad actors accountable for labor law violations.   However, because these penalties are so low today,  unscrupulous employers treat them as just the ‘cost of doing business.’

H-2A workers are in very high demand right now, but far too often, their rights are violated. Our new rule strengthens and expands their workplace protections.
