Obama's OSHA Will be Diligent

摘要

Labor and safety violators beware. There's a new sheriff in town and her name is Hilda Solis, the U.S. government's secretary of labor. At Corrugated Week in Baltimore earlier this month, Marc Freedman, executive director, labor, immigration, and employee benefits, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told about 30 seminar attendees that Solis is setting an early, aggressive tone. Put another way, it's a clear departure from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) during President G.W. Bush's years in office. The message is that OSHA will be used to force employers to plan, prevent and protect, he stated.
