Worker Safety Regulations Dramatically Loosened Under Bush Admin.

News:
Under the Bush administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued the fewest significant standards in its history, public health experts say, a trend they credit to the administration’s habit – by now familiar – of appointing former industry officials and lobbyists to regulatory posts. Since Bush took office, OSHA has imposed only one major safety rule, while the only significant health standard it issued was ordered by a federal court. At the same time, the agency has killed dozens of existing and proposed regulations and delayed adopting others.

Unions brought us the weekend; yes, they did, how many decades ago? What do unions do now? They pander to illegal workers, union whiney asses who are some of the laziest workers I ever met. That said, safety in today’s workplace is as much as walking in through the gate/door; it happens. Safety on the job regardless of Gov't cuts has increased throughout the US, well maybe except where they cannot read English.

Whining about work safety is a waste of time, and really just pure BULLSHIT, but I guess when you pass up your 100 hours, poof! must have something to do.
