This is just a small list of the hundreds of areas covered by the Department of Labor (then there's the EEOC, not to mention state labor boards and laws):
Wages & Hours
Workplace Safety & Health
Workers' Compensation
Employee Benefits
Unions & Their Members
Employee Protection
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
Employee Polygraph Protection Act
Garnishment of Wages
The Family and Medical Leave Act
Veterans' Preference
Government Contracts, Grants, or Financial Aid
Migrant & Seasonal Agricultural Workers
Mine Safety & Health
Construction
Transportation
Plant Closings & Layoffs
Posters
Related Agencies
Again, unions are unnecessary, antiquated and as pointed out by HotD and FQ, often horribly corrupt.
Democrats getting the union backing is no more surprising than Republicans (and some Democrats in gun loving states) getting NRA endorsements. Both/all special interest endorsements and the money behind them disgust me--that's why I think we're fucked until we implement real campaign finance reform.
