AG Schwalb released the Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) 2025 Labor Day Report, detailing the office’s efforts to stand up for workers, enforce the District’s labor laws, and ensure all businesses in the District compete on a level playing field. Since Labor Day 2024, OAG secured nearly $6 million through workers’ rights enforcement actions across industries. Since Attorney General Schwalb took office, OAG has secured over $20 million in civil penalties and payments back to workers who were taken advantage of.

“On Labor Day, we honor the contributions working men and women have made, and continue to make, to our country.  I will always have workers’ backs and fight to level the playing field for companies that play by the rules. Every worker in DC deserves to receive the full wages and benefits they have earned and are entitled to under the law. OAG’s efforts this year were made possible thanks to tips and complaints from workers and residents – I encourage anyone who believes their rights have been violated to reach out to our office.” – AG Schwalb
