Adding jobs shouldn't mean less worker safety EDITORIAL, The Decatur Daily, AL
The Occupation Safety and Health Administration became law in 1970 because employers failed to adequately protect their workers.
The law's been under attack ever since, mainly by Republicans who represent business interests.
Four bills passed the House of Representatives this week that could weaken the law. Some of the reasons are ingenious. One, for instance, is supposed to make worker safety better because employers will voluntarily do things that promote good health and safety.
That, of course, ignores history and that OSHA became law because employers refused to voluntarily create a more wholesome work environment.------------------------------------------- posted 5:05 PM :: reference link ::
