Democratic lawmakers decry OSHA push to weaken worker respiratory protections
Original: Democratic lawmakers decry Osha’s push to roll back worker respiratory protections https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/
Democratic lawmakers, including Elizabeth Warren and Ilhan Omar, are condemning a push by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to roll back workplace respiratory protection standards for US workers. The lawmakers argue the move would strip safeguards that protect employees from airborne hazards on the job. Unions and worker advocacy groups are backing the criticism, framing it as an attack on workplace safety protections.
Why now: Lawmakers and unions are publicly challenging a federal regulator's attempt to weaken worker safety rules.
