The White House issued Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate
Crisis at Home and Abroad, resulting in part, in the Council on
Environmental Quality and a White House advisory committee focused on
serving environmental justice communities. The policy of the
Administration is to secure economic justice and spur economic
opportunities for disadvantaged communities that have been historically
marginalized and overburdened, including places that have suffered as a
result of economic shifts and places that have suffered the most from
persistent pollution, including low-income rural and urban communities,
communities of color, and Native communities. At the Department we
refer to the individuals in such communities as disadvantaged workers.
The Department provides a range of services that seeks to assist
and improve the overall job quality for disadvantaged workers, through
job search, training, income maintenance, worker empowerment, safety
and health protections, and other worker protections. The Department is
interested in learning about potential approaches and gathering
feedback to improving services for the economically disadvantaged. In
this session, the Department will seek public input on what are the
greatest needs and/or barriers facing disadvantaged and/or
environmentally-impacted communities as it relates to employment,
worker protections, and worker rights.
Authority: E.O. 14008, E.O. 12898, 59 FR 7629, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp. p.

Assistant Secretary for Policy.
