Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy Announce an "Interstate Task Force" to Collaboratively Enforce Each State's Labor Laws

“Our work can’t stop at increasing opportunity – we also need to protect workers’ rights once they’re on the job,” Shapiro said. “I’m proud to join Gov. Murphy to announce that Pennsylvania and New Jersey will strengthen our partnership to stop wage theft and worker misclassification. Pennsylvanians and New Jerseyans work hard, and we will not let them be cheated out of the benefits they’ve earned.” In a letter to the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Labor secretaries, Shapiro and Murphy argued that it was in each states’ best interest to work collaboratively to “hold bad actors accountable across state lines.” While the partnership is between New Jersey and Pennsylvania right now, the governors said that they hope surrounding states will join in their efforts to “strengthen enforcement actions against labor violations.” Read the full press release here.
