The destruction of OSHA and CA OSHA means more workers will die, and the retaliation of workers for being whistleblowers is escalating. Cal OSHA is understaffed by 40% and is incapable of enforcing the health and safety laws on the books. This is also the case nationally where there are less than 2000 OSHA inspectors for 130 million workers.
At the same time, millions of workers have been injured on the job and have suffered from a corrupt Workers Compensation system that benefits the insurance companies and bosses.
This panel will look at these attacks, how workers and unions should do to defend their members.
