Herrera has advocated for the rights of women, children, workers and immigrants for more than 15 years. She is a 2004 fellow of the National Hispana Leadership Institute program held at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. I have been friends with Millie for about 5 years and she has always been helpful on many, many issues. For instance, she is a staunch supporter of holding the Urban Development Boundary.
For those of you who don't know, the Department of Labor fosters and promotes the welfare of the job seekers, wage earners and retirees of the United States by improving their working conditions, advancing their opportunities for profitable employment, protecting their retirement and health care benefits, helping employers find workers, strengthening free collective bargaining, and tracking changes in employment, prices and other national economic measurements. In carrying out this mission, the department administers a variety of federal labor laws including those that guarantee workers’ rights to safe and healthful working conditions; a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay; freedom from employment discrimination; Unemployment Insurance; and other income support.
