The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is issuing grants, OSHA is suspending enforcement activity and federal contractor requirements are being waived, all in an effort to assist with and expedite post-Harvey recovery efforts.
The DOL has awarded $30 million in Dislocated Worker Grants to the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and will, according to U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, “continue to partner with Texas as the state assesses its workforce needs.”
