Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta fielded a range of questions on the DOL’s priorities during a November 15 hearing before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Although members of the Committee inquired about past, current, and future rulemaking and other Department initiatives, the limited duration of Wednesday’s hearing allowed Secretary Acosta to deliver only brief responses. The hearing did, however, provide some insight into the DOL’s stance on health care, OSHA enforcement, overtime rulemaking authority, apprenticeship, and other workplace concerns.
