Labor discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Labor's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) prioritizes the interests of American workers in U.S. trade and international labor and employment policy, strengthening U.S. jobs and wages, by combating foreign labor abuses and unfair trade practices in the global supply chain that undermine U.S. prosperity and security. ILAB focuses on ensuring that American workers and businesses benefit from the Administration's trade agenda by shaping international trade and labor environments, monitoring countries' compliance with labor obligations, counteracting labor practices overseas that undermine American competitiveness, and vigorously enforcing labor provisions in trade agreements.
