Wal-Mart Deal Shows A Shift On Policing Workplace By Dan Haar, Hartford Courant
Chao's advance-warning brainstorm appeared in none of her speeches before or after that date, at least among the many archived on her website. Several OSHA watchdogs and officials said during the last five days that they've never heard her utter it.
But she said it, and a colleague and I shared amazement. I shouldn't have let Chao's comments slip by. Now it's clear: She, her boss and her deputies have reshaped the enforcement culture of the U.S. Department of Labor in favor of employers.
This month's Wal-Mart bombshell was only the most visible sign. It turns out that the Wage and Hour Division routinely sends a heads-up to employers when it wants to check their records for child labor and other concerns.------------------------------------------- posted 11:34 AM :: reference link ::
