Bill 205 FAQ
FAQ’s for Bill 205:
Q: What does Bill 205 Protect Guam’s Workers do?
A: It ensures protection of workers from abuse and human trafficking by enforcing mandatory workplace inspection quotas and creates and on-site inspection team under DOL.
Q: Why is this Bill good for Guam’s workers?
A: Since 1985, we haven’t had inspections in worksites to ensure workers are treated fair and just. Most workers are not aware of their rights and as a labor agency such as DOL, it should be their job to ensure workers are not being abused like what happened with the H2 workers who marched from their barracks in Yigo to DOL in Hagatna complaining they didn’t get paid for over six months.
