WASHINGTON, DC- House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Department of Labor (DOL) released a new report on child and forced labor, List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor :
“Today’s report is another stunning reminder of the pervasive nature of forced labor in the global economy, and a call to action. Putting an end to these egregious abuses and ridding our supply chains of forced labor requires work across many stakeholders, and I commend the Department of Labor for diving deeper than ever before. This look at how entrenched forced labor is in the production of so many of our goods increases transparency, which ultimately, will strengthen our enforcement measures. House Democrats continue to push labor standards higher and higher, and we look forward to working with the Biden Administration to use every available to tool to stop these atrocities."
