DCWP Releases World Cup Worker Rights PSA Video

Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine and DCWP released a new PSA video produced in partnership with the Hotel & Gaming Trades Council (HTC) and the Worker’s Justice Project (WJP) aimed at empowering New York City workers and educating them of their rights—including the City’s Fair Workweek Law, Protected Time Off Law, and Safe Hotels Act.

With more than one million visitors expected during the World Cup season, the agency anticipates a surge in consumer activity and increased demands placed on workers, especially across the tourism, restaurant, and hospitality industries.

DCWP is proud to welcome the world throughout the 2026 World Cup and will always be rooting for workers. If you believe your worker rights have been violated, submit a complaint right away at nyc.gov/workers.
