Earlier this week the White House released its proposed budget for fiscal year 2015. The budget proposes several increases for employment-related agencies:
- The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor would receive an additional $41 million over the amount requested for 2014
- The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs would receive an additional $3 million
- The Office of Labor-Management Standards would receive an additional $2 million
- OSHA would receive an additional $13 million
- The National Labor Relations Board would receive $3 million more
- The EEOC would receive about $2 million more
A significant portion of the proposed increases is slated for enforcement activities.
