Risking your life for $9.00 an hour

[marvin martian]

The Democrats, Republicans and Presidents could change this? How? The GOP controlled the Congress for so long. How could Biden or Democrats have stepped into this?

Conservatives and MAGA GOP hate OSHA! Hate safety regulations. It's to them "The Deep State"

read up on the history of OSHA -- who attacks OSHA for decades.


Murder of OSHA -- Killed under Trump/Musk

The DemoKKKrats controlled BOTH houses of Congress and the White House for two years while this was going on, and never mentioned it.

Why not?

Just more reason to never go above and beyond on a job.

If their workers are illegals, that can be dealt with.

OSHA is a Federal government organ. Surely the State has a counterpart agency, also "responsible" for monitoring safety in its workplaces.

How does the safety record compare with other similar businesses? Although I have only done real work a few times in my life, I saw things that I considered unsafe on all of them, OSHA be damned. OTOH, I saw OSHA complaints result in quick and decisive changes in the workplace.

Consider also that every employer must obtain Workmens' Compensation insurance for its workers, and the worse the safety record is, the higher the premiums. If this company is as bad as claimed, how are they dealing with the WC issues?

YES.....absolutely.
State occupation safety and health agencies are more strict with rules than the Federal Government. Which is why I liked working Federal Jobs as the rules were less strict.

Alabama has their own occupation safety protocols....however....Alabama doesn't even have enough Electrical inspectors to inspect every construction site.
(For whatever reason)
So....there is that too.

"Causing the death of a worker by willfully violating safety rules is a misdemeanor under federal law. The maximum sentence is six months in prison, less than the penalty for killing an endangered animal."

crickets from USMB Magatoids.

But run with a bogus screed against Faucci and fleas and dogs...

Happened under Biden's watch.

Tell the GOP controlled House to go against a company and support OSHA?

Biden's labor department tried. Hey, what about OSHA and the Labor Department. Do they still exist under Trump/Musk?

"The agency tried “to use all of the resources we have, all the tools we have” in its pursuit of the lumber mill, said Jim Frederick, who was the No. 2 official at OSHA and a deputy assistant secretary at the Labor Department (under BIDEN), until January."

Under Biden:

Since at least 2003, federal safety inspectors have fined the company nearly $5.3 million. They issued more than 180 citations for health and safety violations, accusing the company of knowingly ignoring workers’ safety “for monetary gain.” A quarter of the violations were deemed “willful,” the most severe category. Phenix Lumber workers told inspectors that they were routinely instructed to put their hands into the jaws of stuck machines to clear jams — without first cutting the power, a clear hazard. And the machines were in such bad shape that they regularly broke down.

Who has been against strengthening OSHA, trying to dismantle it?

Why get rid of worker protections?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Put a face to the man who MAGA belittles trying to make it about Biden in order to deflect from what conservatives and MAGA against OSHA and the Labor Dept want to do -- make this more likely to happen in more places.

"Kill OSHA" "Slay the Labor Dept!"

James Streetman, a 67-year-old maintenance worker, was killed in an accident at the Alabama lumber mill

Why was he still working at that age?

Meat packers should be making double their wages, or walk off the job.

In this case thr student thing yo do is simply shut the company down without due process. Close the doors forever.

If one president can kill OSHA, another could have beefed it up. Quid Pro Joe failed, full stop.

 

[hadit]

This man lost his life. Why? Profits over safety.

View attachment 1079561

The workplace accident he was involved in was preventable. Like Trump and MAGA, the owners believed they could ignore the law, the rules, and laugh at everybody.

Are you forgetting this happened while Quid Pro Joe was running things? This is on him, clearly, yet here you are, parroting away...

You weren't supposed to notice that, gets in the way of the narrative.

 

[initforme]

Nobody should be working for anything close to $9 per hour. Not even a kid.
