    Workers, watch out: new OSHA chief has a slippery record By Molly Ivins, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
    Exactly how this qualifies him to head OSHA is unclear - maybe he's a quick learner. He did join the solicitor's office of the Department of Labor in June 2003, where the Labor Department's announcement says, ''Snare focused on issues at OSHA, as well as the Wage and Hour Division and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.'' Wage and Hour, you may recall, has made what business considers a great leap forward by making overtime pay optional, whereas the Mine Safety people have just had their budget cut.
