US lawmakers have written to the Department of Labor inquiring into reports some state safety agencies are tipping off employers before workplace inspections are conducted.
The letter from ranking Democratic members of the House committee on education and the workforce, the congressman Robert “Bobby” Scott and the congresswoman Dr Alma Adams, cites testimony from farm workers and advocates in California and a New York Times article on child labor where an employer in South Carolina admitted to ordering workers to clean up and prepare for an inspection after receiving a tip-off about an upcoming inspection from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha).

Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s right or good.

Some historians think we only got FDR’s New Deal because socialism was on the rise and liberals were scared there would be a socialist revolution. It wouldn’t surprise me if liberals only get their shit together when they are scared that people are considering alternatives to our broken 2 party system.
If I were to tip off one of my coworkers about an OSHA inspection I’d be slapped with fines and fired. Even if I see one on the job site I wouldn’t even technically be allowed to point them out to the dude next to me. You know… If they were doing what they are supposed to be doing. I think the people that trained me on OSHA regulations took it more seriously than actual OSHA.
