Where is OSHA? AWOL, apparently
18,000 complaints from employees. 12,000 cases closed with no action. More noncompliance to come. No inspections. No enforcement actions. Nothing. Employees are dying in the name of limited government, combined with a delusional belief in voluntary compliance by employers. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia has their blood on his hands. "Shameful" doesn't begin to describe OSHA's abject failure to enforce guidelines. The story appeared in NPR's Weekend-Saturday show with Scott Simon, 7/4/2020.
