Labor Department: shaping policy through cooperation and oversight
In 1913 Congress created the Department of Labor to aid workers, but its value grew from administrative action. The department mediated labor disputes, notably averting a mill strike in New England by forming worker and owner committees. It oversees the children’s bureau, guards workplace safety, and enforces stringent immigration policy to sustain national unity and American citizenship.
