An estimated 100 died during two years of inaction
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said it’s time for the Obama administration to push forward on a proposed silica delay that has been stuck in limbo at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for two years – long past the required 90 day deadline.
In a blog post on www.huffingtonpost.com, Trumka blamed “well-funded knee-jerk opposition by business trade groups and industry associations” for blocking the stronger silica dust limits proposed by OSHA.
