AMONG OTHER THINGS IN THE LINK: "Support right of private action: Amend the DBA to allow workers to file lawsuits directly against contractors for wage violations. This “private right of action” empowers workers to recover unpaid wages and attorney fees and supplements enforcement by the DOL. Strengthening whistleblower protections is also critical to shielding workers from retaliation for reporting violations."
