  • I oppose reforming current worker safety policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
  • I support expanding the coverage of requirements governing workplace safety and health to include protection for federal, state, and local government employees by: 1.) Expanding protections for whistle-blowers, such as protections for employees who refuse to perform work because they reasonably believe the work would result in serious injury or illness and for employees who aid inspections. 2.) Directing employers to furnish a hazard-free place of employment to all individuals performing work, not just employees. 3.) Directing employers to report work-related deaths or certain injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. 4.) Requiring the Department of Labor to investigate fatalities or significant incidents in the workplace. 5.) Establishing rights for victims, or representatives of victims, with respect to inspections or investigations of work-related bodily injuries or deaths. 6.) Setting the permitted period for employers to correct serious, willful, or repeated violations while citations for the violations are being contested. 7.) Increasing civil and criminal penalties for certain violations. 8.) Expanding enforcement requirements relating to state occupational safety and health plans. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of either Rep. Bobby Scott (VA) and/or Rep. Joe Courtney (CT), and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
