Advocates to Obama: Issue executive orders on safety

摘要

Washington - President Barack Obama should issue executive orders to extend safety and health protections, according to the Center for Progressive Reform, a public health and environmental advocacy group. Among the proposals included in a new paper from the group is an executive order requiring OSHA's enforcement and consultation programs to better proleet contingent workers, such as construction and farming day laborers. This would include OSHA conducting enforcement "sweeps" at workplaces that rely on temporary workers and developing a specific penalty structure for violations in the temporary help industry.
