Ask Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia:
Why isn’t OSHA investigating COVID-19-related workplace safety complaints?
>>> [link removed]
Friend,
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is supposed to keep American workers safe on the job. But it seems that Trump’s Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, who oversees OSHA, is not doing his duty when it comes to protecting workers and investigating thousands of new COVID-19-related claims. Let’s keep him answerable.
Scalia admitted that OSHA has received thousands of workplace safety complaints related to the COVID-19 crisis -- but has issued only ONE citation!
It’s OSHA's literal job to keep American workers safe -- and they aren't bothering to do it. Sign our petition to ask Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia: Why isn’t OSHA investigating COVID-19 workplace safety complaints?

But that isn’t even the only area where OSHA is failing under Scalia’s leadership (or lack thereof). Here are a few things that Scalia and OSHA need to be doing right now:
➔ Require employers to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's safety guidelines: OSHA should issue an enforceable COVID-19 standard instead of the “booklet with suggestions” it currently offers, which “creates no new legal obligations."
➔ Enforce occupational safety and health laws: OSHA should significantly increase its citations for the thousands of COVID-19 complaints it has received.
➔ Increase the OSHA inspection rate to at least pre-COVID-19 levels: OSHA should increase the volume of its investigations related to worker complaints about COVID-19 exposure.
Friend, it’s never been more important that OSHA do its job. Will you add your name to join us in asking Eugene Scalia: Why isn’t OSHA investigating workplace safety and other COVID-19-related complaints?
