Efforts to protect workers against unfair and deceptive acts
and practices within the U.S. labor markets are being bolstered through a new
memorandum of understanding between the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S.
Department of Labor.
Under the newly signed agreement, the two agencies will collaborate
on policymaking and enforcement activities pertaining to issues facing
competition in the U.S. market, such as labor market concentration, one-sided
contract terms and labor developments in the “gig economy.”
