“I’m looking forward to serving the Labor Commission in this new role,” said Mr. Natt. “And contributing my skills to an already great team.”

The Utah Labor Commission is a state agency that works to achieve safety for employers and employees in the state’s workplaces and ensure fairness in employment and housing through services that include consultation, education, inspections, compliance, and mediation.
