The adversarial position that OSHA is taking seems to mirror the Obama stance on business. Business is bad. Business owners are evil and only the government can protect us from their evil machinations.
OSHA is proposing legislation could put a business owner in prison up to 10 years with a felony conviction if a worker dies on the job. This sounds like a good idea on paper, but I think it will be a disaster if implemented.
The climate between OSHA and business is now adversarial. There is no more working together. If you have a good safety record, you are under reporting and if you have a bad safety record, then you are…well…bad. An inordinate amount of new laws have been enacted and changed during this president’s administration. Some of them are good, while some are draconian or ludicrous.
Whether you believe illegal aliens should be given immunity or not. The botton line is they did do something wrong if they entered the country illegally. Our government turns a blind eye to that, but business owners that are providing employment and a tax base for our communities are now the “bad guys” and have to be punished.
The world has gone mad
