Ironworkers push feds to restore safety law - By Alexandra Berzon, Las Vegas Sun
The union’s public entreaty also seeks to capitalize on a surge in public attention to construction safety in the week since a walkout by workers shut down the CityCenter and Cosmopolitan projects for a day.
“We are outraged by news that Mr. Foulke would come to Las Vegas to pontificate about fatalities and workplace safety matters when he has refused to rescind OSHA compliance directives that have been at the center of controversy in Las Vegas,” said Joe Standley, president of the Western District Council of Ironworkers, which covers Nevada.
“The working men and women that build America and those of us who represent them look to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to enforce the safety regulations for our protection,” Standley said.
