Trump's Department of Labor: "One of the incidents, during working hours on the morning of Dec. 18, was recorded on office security cameras, the people said. The video showed Dr. DeRemer giving one of the women an extended embrace, and was reviewed as part of a criminal investigation"

"It is the union's position that every employee has the right to call 9 -1 -1. That is not even debatable. This is what you're supposed to do in an emergency situation." - APWU President Jonathan Smith.

Jorge Monterrey with Valley Voices says employers overlook safety measures to reduce exposure to farmworkers and guidance on identifying avian flu symptoms in humans. Instead, the trainings are largely focused on mitigating the risk in animals & protecting the milk supply

Doctors say measures to control an incurable lung disease aren't enough

Texas Workers Keep Dying in the Heat - Inside Climate News
Despite its blazing temperatures, Texas has no labor protections for heat. That leaves workers, especially immigrants, vulnerable on the job.
Texas workers are dying from heat, but business leaders and Republicans support a ban on local protections, because too many different laws will confuse businesses.
But they oppose a national OSHA standard as well.
Maybe they just don't care?

Basically a century of development of capitalism with corporations shielded and huge amounts of the costs dumped on people at the bottom, before the system even started spreading some of the burden, still in an utterly disproportionate way (Workers Comp)
This is on top of slavery / Jim Crow.

Millions of Americans told to stay out of the sun
NWS urges millions to watch for signs of heat stroke as California braces for an October heatwave with temps near 100.
Too bad most outdoor workers don't have the ability to "stay out of the sun." In California and a few others states, #OSHA standards help prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths. In the rest of the states, not so much.
Good luck workers: you're on your own. www.newsweek.com/millions-of-...

Defending Worker Safety: Responding to OSHA and MSHA’s Dangerous Rollbacks - National Employment Law Project
OSHA and MSHA announced a set of wide-ranging rollbacks to long-standing worker protections.
Great thread on #worker #safety - assumption of the risk sounds like the new plan from the federal administration to carve out “Inherently Risky Professional Activities” from the General Duty Clause (GDC).

Today, workers toil for American companies or subcontractors with American companies in Bangladesh, Mexico, Honduras, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and other countries across the world and face many of the same problems of workplace safety and long-term health that Americans did 150 years ago.

Amazon is Building a Surveillance Empire on the Backs of Delivery Drivers. A new report from the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) exposes the dark underbelly of technology-driven workplace surveillance.” Above the text is an old school television with an antenna featuring a surveillance snapshot from a camera inside of an Amazon delivery van. The Amazon logo is upside down and is a frown. Around the television are disembodied eyes and ears.
🚨NEW🚨 from DAIR:
Today we are releasing "Driven Down", a new report on how workplace technology enables Amazon to steal wages, hide labor,
intensify poor working conditions, and evade responsibility.
