Happening right now: meeting with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis about the impact the proposed GOP budget will have on jobs and the safety of workers.

With their budget, House Republicans have told America’s working families that their future is on the chopping block.

While the economy is still ailing, their budget would eliminate workplace protections, posing direct risk to the health and safety of workers. No more data would be collected on workplace health and safety trends. OSHA’s website would be eliminated. And safety for workers in mine would be less secure by reducing the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) budget to the levels from the 2010 fiscal year.
