Today, as we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we reflect on his steadfast commitment to worker rights and social justice. Dr. King understood that the fight for civil rights was deeply intertwined with the fight for fair labor practices. He famously declared, "All labor has dignity," emphasizing that every worker deserves respect, fair wages, and safe working conditions. At NJDOL, we are committed to upholding Dr. King's vision by advocating for worker rights and ensuring fair treatment in the workplace. We strive to empower New Jersey's workforce through initiatives that protect workers' rights and promote economic opportunity.
