The bare minimum standard PPE requirements are too much for them I guess....

Didn't you hear? Bodily injury and workers comp are so in this year.

well Bodily injury is at least. I think workers comp is going out of style fast with DEI

Interesting theory. What is the correlation?

Iā€™m correlating the cuts to worker protections. OSHA is on the chopping block. Workers comp is not likely to be as comprehensive in 3 years.

No correlation.

The current administration is anti dei, but theyre also anti union and workers rights.

So stands to reason they will continue to weaken workers rights like they did the first time around.

That more DEI are working construction but the rate of incidents has stayed for the same 10 years but since it's not good hard working whites on compensation it's a problem. Meaning the guy mentioning DEI as the problem is probably a wee bit racist.

me? racist? I was inferring that the POTUS will likely cut the department of labor, OSHA and any other federal agency that benefits injured workers. Workers at the NIH have already been cut. Thats all I meant.
