BU Prof Confirms Position at US Dept. of Labor
Boston University Graduate School of Management Professor David Weil has been confirmed as the administrator of the US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. Weil will be responsible for enforcing laws designed to protect the nation’s workers.
In his new role, Weil will oversee a division that ensures American workers are adequately compensated for the work they do by being paid the minimum wage and required overtime compensation. The division also protects responsible employers from competition with companies that do not comply with federal wage and hour requirements by enforcing the Fair Labor Standards Act, which is also responsible for regulating child labor.
