Terri Gerstein (’95), Director of the State and Local Enforcement Project at the Harvard Law School Center for Labor and a Just Economy, authored an article for American Constitution Society’s ACS Blogs Expert Forum on Law and Policy Analysis pointing to the meaningful impact of pro-worker action by state attorneys general across a wide spectrum of worker protection matters (“With Labor in the National Spotlight, State AGs Are Increasingly Standing Up for Workers’ Rights,” Aug. 31). “At a time when workers’ rights are increasingly in the spotlight, state AGs’ growing involvement in enforcing labor laws is a positive and necessary development. . . . [S]ome AGs are playing a key role in promoting compliance and fair working conditions within their states. At the same time, Labor Day 2023 is a good moment to note the considerable untapped potential for even more extensive and impactful involvement by state AGs on behalf of the nation’s working people.”
