US labor groups sue over ‘ignorant’ cuts of programs fighting child labor abroad

Musk's Doge team announced in March it had canceled about $577m in grants for programs it labeled America last'

Labor groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's abrupt termination of international labor rights programs aimed at ending child labor and other abuses.

The Solidarity Center, Global March Against Child Labour, and the American Institutes for Research (AIR), filed the lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to stop the cuts, enacted by Elon Musk's so-called department of government efficiency" (Doge), and arguing the programs were authorized by Congress and that the secretary of labor has no authority to cancel the funds.
